The San Juan Capistrano station was originally opened in 1894 as a Santa Fe depot.[2] It was one of the earliest examples of Mission Revival Style architecture in railway stations.[3] In 1966, the station was closed, two years ahead of the end of Santa Fe passenger service to the city.[2] Under the auspices of Amtrak, rail service was restored to the station in 1974, though a year later the depot was converted into a restaurant, with vintage rolling stock used to expand the space.[2] In 1995, the complex received a refurbishment, ending up with two restaurants, one located in the depot building, as well as Amtrak ticketing services and a waiting room, located in two boxcars.[2]
Of the 73 California stations served by Amtrak, San Juan Capistrano was the 18th-busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 600 passengers daily.[1]
