Fremont station is located in Fremont, California and is served by Amtrak's Capitol Corridor and the Altamont Corridor Express (ACE).The Station is located in Alameda County.Rail ServiceThe Altamont Corridor Express serves the station on weekdays.Amtrak's Capitol Corridor stops 14 times daily, with seven trains in each direction.The Coast Starlight (traveling between Los Angeles and Seattle) passes the station daily, but does not stop. Amtrak tickets can be purchased from the QuikTrak machine located inside the station waiting area.The station has two outside-boarding platforms. Platform 1, nearest the station on the north side of the tracks, is of standard length for Capitol Corridor trains (typically five cars long). Platform 2, on the south side of the tracks, is a short platform, and most trains calling on that platform board from only one or two cars. The usual operating practice is to have all ACE trains call at Platform 1, and to only have Capitol Corridor trains call at Platform 2 when there is another service (ACE or Capitol Corridor) running the opposite direction around the same time, so as to allow the two trains to pass on the double-track segment between Newark Junction and Niles Junction.The Fremont Boulevard grade crossing is immediately to the west of the station, and is sometimes blocked by stopped trains. Occasionally, passengers board the train from the road.
