Midtown Sacramento is a planned train station in the neighborhood of the same name that will be a stop on Altamont Corridor Express and Amtrak California's San Joaquin services. To be constructed as part of the Valley Rail project, it was expected to open no later than 2023.[5] By 2023, the opening date had slipped to 2026.[6] The platform will run between P Street and the wye at S Street and be bisected by Q Street.[7] SacRT light rail stations are located either three blocks to the east or west.[1]

History

[edit]

The original California Zephyr ran on this alignment until 1970, hailing at the Western Pacific Passenger Depot at J Street.[1]
