Corcoran station is an Amtrak train station in Corcoran, California, United States.

History

Corcoran was made a scheduled stop on the Amtrak San Joaquin on July 29, 1989.^[2]

The current station building, opened in 1999, replaced a former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway depot from 1907 that was demolished in 1998.^[4] It exhibits Spanish Revival style architecture that includes decorative curvilinear gables and stuccoed walls. The depot is decorated with a large bas-relief called “Life of the Valley" depicting the importance of water to the residents, agriculture, and wildlife of the San Joaquin Valley.^[4] Artist Garrett Masterson completed it with the help of his students at the nearby California State Prison, Corcoran.^[4]

San Joaquins are expected to cease services here once California High-Speed Rail operations begin.^[5]
