College Park station is a limited-service, weekday-only Caltrain station serving the College Park neighborhood and the Bellarmine College Preparatory school in San Jose, California.
Service
The station is served by four trains per weekday. During each rush hour, one northbound local train from Tamien and one southbound local train from San Francisco serve the station. There is no weekend service.[1]
Due to the small size of the station platforms, only the three northern-most cars of each train open their doors to allow passengers to board and alight. The two southern cars do not open.[2]
The station has a boarding assistance area so that train crews may offer help to passengers with disabilities. However, the station does not have a wheelchair lift, limiting the accessibility of the station.[2]
History
Before Caltrain, College Park was a station on Southern Pacific's Peninsula Commute line, in fare zone 6 (brown).[3] It is mentioned in Jack London's 1903 novel The Call of the Wild as the location at which the stolen canine protagonist is fenced, beginning his journey away from civilization.[4][5]
In August 2005, service was reduced from 12 daily trains to four.[6] The nearby students at Bellarmine College Preparatory who use the station have a history of protesting to protect it from removal.[7]
The platform is planned to be rebuilt to accommodate through-running California High-Speed Rail service.[8]
