Services


The station is a stop on the Coast Starlight from Los Angeles to Seattle, Washington.

Greyhound Lines moved its Salinas station to the property in 2015.[6]

The Transportation Agency for Monterey County's planned Monterey County Rail Extension would see expanded Caltrain commuter rail service from the station to the San Francisco Bay Area by 2025,[7] with long-term plans to extend Amtrak California's Capitol Corridor as well.[8][9][10][11]

The station grounds were remodeled in 2021[12] to prepare for increased services; traffic circulation was improved by extending Lincoln Avenue to the station.[13] Monterey–Salinas Transit local bus service will move from the Salinas Transit Center a few blocks away to the expanded station.[14]


Design


The depot, constructed in 1941 by the Southern Pacific Railroad,[15] exhibits a pared down Spanish Revival style as influenced by the then-popular Art Deco movement. Spanish Revival elements include the red tile roof and stuccoed walls, while the Art Deco influence is visible in the rectilinear composition and clean lines.[16]
