caption_attribution_description: English: CalTrain station in Santa Clara. The pedestrian tunnel is newly built and near the San Jose airport. The station house was built in 1863
context_page_description: The Santa Clara Depot is one of two heavy railway stations in Santa Clara, California. It is served by Caltrain from San Francisco, and is also served by the Altamont Corridor Express from Stockton. This station is the planned terminal for the Silicon Valley BART extension into Santa Clara County and will be preceded by Diridon/Arena BART station with direct service to San Francisco/Daly City and Richmond.
  The Santa Clara station has a side platform serving the southbound Caltrain track and an island platform for the northbound Caltrain track and the ACE/Amtrak track. The island platform is connected to the side platform by a pedestrian tunnel that was completed in 2012. Additional tracks northeast of Track 1 are used by Union Pacific freight trains.
  The platforms were rebuilt in 2012 to eliminate the hold out rule and permit ACE and Amtrak Capitol Corridor trains to stop at the station.
context_section_description: The station is an intermodal transportation center, with Caltrain and Altamont Corridor Express train service and bus service operated by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). Bus service is extensive and includes limited-stop and, since July 2005, the VTA's brand of bus rapid transit.
  The station is also served by a free shuttle going to the San Jose International Airport, the SJC Airport Flyer (Route 10), jointly operated by the VTA and the airport.
  Amtrak Capitol Corridor trains began stopping at the station on May 21, 2012, giving Caltrain a second direct connection to Amtrak.
  The station is located within walking distance of Earthquakes Stadium.
