Sunnyvale Station
Sunnyvale is a Caltrain station in Sunnyvale, California. The station is within walking distance of Sunnyvale's historic downtown and the Cityline Sunnyvale shopping center.
History
On July 27, 1861, Martin Murphy Jr. donated part of his property to the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad. The railroad was completed in early 1864, and Murphy's Station was included in the Southern Pacific Railroad's San Francisco–San Jose line by 1886. The station was later renamed Sunnyvale.
The station plaza and parking structure were built in 2003, replacing the earlier station building.
In March 2018, work began on the Sunnyvale Station Rehabilitation Project, which shifted the north pedestrian crossing further north by approximately 80 feet to accommodate six-car trains at station platforms. Work was completed in April 2019.
