Coast Line (UP)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Coast Line of the Union Pacific Railroad is a railroad line stretching from Los Angeles, California north to the San Francisco Bay Area, mostly along the Pacific Coast. The line was originally completed by the Southern Pacific Railroad on December 31, 1900.

UP freight trains run on the route, although the San Joaquin Valley route is the primary North/South California route. The route hosts passenger trains for Amtrak. Commuter rail trains for Metrolink in Southern California and Caltrain in Northern California run on the tracks.
