 For most of Amtrak's first three decades, the station was only served by the "Coast Starlight," which ran southbound in the afternoon and northbound in mid-morning.In 1995, Amtrak and CalTrans extended the "San Diegan" all the way to San Luis Obispo.That route had long been a Los Angeles-San Diego service, but had been extended up the Central Coast to provide that region with additional service to Los Angeles.
