# List of Amtrak stations in California

Since 1976, California has been one of the several U.S. states that have provided financial assistance to Amtrak (the national passenger railroad company of the United States) for services within its borders. Through the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the state government provides capital grants and support for station and track improvements (including signaling), locomotives and cars, connecting Amtrak Thruway bus service, and operating assistance for the three routes under the Amtrak California brand: the Capitol Corridor connecting the San Francisco Bay Area with Sacramento; the Pacific Surfliner, running along the coast of Southern California between San Diego and San Luis Obispo; and the San Joaquin connecting the major cities of the San Joaquin Valley with onward service to either the Bay Area or Sacramento.
National Amtrak lines serving California include the California Zephyr from Emeryville to Chicago, Illinois; the Coast Starlight from Los Angeles to Seattle, Washington; the Southwest Chief and the Texas Eagle from Los Angeles to Chicago; and the Sunset Limited from Los Angeles to New Orleans, Louisiana.
