 The former Del Mar station served passengers from the early 1900s until its closure in 1995, and for much of that time was the only passenger stop between Oceanside and San Diego.Solana Beach Station was planned from the beginning not only as a stop for both Amtrak and commuter trains, but also as a major local bus hub.As a result, the future of Del Mar Station, just two miles south, fell into doubt as early as 1989.
