The Santa Barbara Train Station, sometimes referred to as the Santa Barbara Amtrak Station, is the passenger rail station in Santa Barbara, California. It is served by two Amtrak lines, the Coast Starlight and the Pacific Surfliner. The Coast Starlight runs once daily in each direction between Los Angeles, California and Seattle, Washington. The Pacific Surfliner trains serving this station run ten times daily (five in each direction) between San Diego, California and the Santa Barbara suburb of Goleta, with two of those running in each direction to/from San Luis Obispo further to the north. The station is fully staffed with ticketing and checked baggage services.
The station was built in 1902 by the Southern Pacific Railroad in the Spanish Mission Revival Style. Design work was by Santa Barbara architect Francis W. Wilson.[3] It is located within walking distance of Santa Barbara Harbor, Stearns Wharf and State Street, Santa Barbara's main thoroughfare.
Due to the length of the platform, Amtrak's Coast Starlight stopped train actually blocks the two streets to the north and south of the depot, much to the annoyance of motorists.[4]
The station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 2, 2006.[2]
