The story of
Caltrain's history dates back to 1863 when the San Francisco & San Jose Railroad built the original commuter line. Southern Pacific (SP) purchased it in 1870 and made improvements, including double-tracking in 1904. After a post-1945 ridership decline, Caltrans intervened in 1980 to preserve the service. In 1987, the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board was formed to manage the line, purchasing it from SP in 1991. The following year, PCJPB took over Caltrain operations, selecting Amtrak as the contract operator, and extended service to Gilroy.
