Merced is a proposed California High-Speed Rail station in Merced, California. The station is the northern terminus of the system's Initial Construction Segment. The station will be located in Downtown Merced on Martin Luther King Jr. Way near the interchange with Route 99/59, and is about 7 blocks south from the existing Merced Amtrak station. The high-speed rail line runs along the right-of-way of the Union Pacific Railroad at this location.^[1] The station is just north of the planned Chowchilla Wye, where the high-speed rail splits into two branches. Merced is on the eastern branch, which at the conclusion of Phase II will continue northwards to Sacramento.^[2]
