Chapter V–The <strong>California</strong> <strong>Rail</strong> Network<br />
THE STATE’S ROLE IN RAIL PASSENGER SERVICE<br />
The <strong>State</strong> rail system combines intercity, commuter, and freight rail. Intercity rail<br />
includes <strong>State</strong>-supported corridor routes and Amtrak long-distance routes. All three<br />
systems share the same infrastructure that is generally owned by private railroads,<br />
and in some cases, public entitites. The <strong>State</strong> <strong>Rail</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> focuses on these rail systems<br />
because they share the same infrastructure. The <strong>State</strong> supports: the Pacific Surfliner<br />
operating between San Diego and San Luis Obispo, the San Joaquin between Bay Area/<br />
Sacramen<strong>to</strong> and Bakersfield, and the Capi<strong>to</strong>l Corridor between San Jose and Auburn.<br />
Services intended <strong>to</strong> meet primarily local needs are developed as commuter and urban<br />
rail services rather than intercity. In <strong>California</strong>, Amtrak currently operates all statesupported<br />
intercity rail service under the provisions of the Federal <strong>Rail</strong> Passenger<br />
Service Act (49 U.S.C. 24101).<br />
