The Amtrak Oakland Maintenance Facility is a passenger train servicing depot in Oakland, California. It is located on the Union Pacific Railroad Niles Subdivision, 1.8 track miles (2.9 km) north of Oakland–Jack London Square station. [1] It provides maintenance for Amtrak's regional and long-distance trains in northern California, including the California Zephyr, Capitol Corridor, and San Joaquins.
Work began on the facility in 2002, [2] and it opened in 2004. [3] It replaced a small, 1916-built train servicing building and yard which were conspicuously placed in the middle of Union Pacific's freight yard at the Port of Oakland. [2] [4] Prior to completion, Capitol Corridor trains had to be taken to Los Angeles for repairs. [2] Total construction cost of the project was $71 million (equivalent to $115 million in 2023), $38 million of which was contributed by the California Department of Transportation with the rest provided by Amtrak.
