Lawrence station is a Caltrain commuter rail station in Sunnyvale, California. The station has four tracks with side platforms serving the outer tracks. [1]
The original Lawrence station was built by the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad, which completed the first rail link between San Francisco and San Jose in 1864. [3] By August 1866, "Lawrence's" station had appeared in the timetable. [4] It was named for Alfred Chester Lawrence, who owned the land in the area at the time. [5] The San Francisco and San Jose Railroad was acquired by Southern Pacific, which continued to operate a station at Lawrence until 1945. [6] In 1982 or 1983, [7] [8] Caltrain reopened the station.
