Amtrak California


Amtrak California is a brand name used by Caltrans Division of Rail on all state supported and Amtrak operated rail routes within the State of California.

Amtrak California utilizes a different color-scheme and a separate logo from standard Amtrak color and logo. All state owned locomotives and passenger cars are painted with the "California Color" of blue and yellow.

Capitol Corridor and San Joaquin Corridor are the two rail routes that are most identified with the Amtrak California image since they use state owned equipment exclusively. The other state supported rail route, the Pacific Surfliner, uses a unique blue and silver paint scheme which is different than the other Amtrak California branded trains. The state only provides about half of the operating costs and equipments.
