I want to give you an update on the Santa Clara Station courtesy of our Marketing & Customer Service Manager Hubert J. Hanrahan:
The project to expand the Santa Clara station with a new platform for both Altamont Commuter Express trains and Amtrak trains is scheduled to begin construction in the fall or early winter of 2008. Once the project begins, it will require a two year construction period involving temporarily moving the train tracks for construction of an underground passageway for passengers.
During this time, ACE Rail will continue to provide free connecting shuttle buses between the Great America station and the Santa Clara station for morning and evening commute hour Altamont Commuter Express trains.
