San Carlos is aCaltrain commuter rail station inSan Carlos, California.
Thestation building was originally built by theSouthern Pacific Railroad in 1888.[4] For its early history, the Depot was the only public building in San Carlos and functioned as the town's first community church, library, and post office.[5] The structure was retired from railway use in 1967, butDel Monte andPeninsula Commute trains continued to stop at the station's platforms.
The building was subsequently occupied by the San Carlos Chamber of Commerce and a real estate company. The building was vacant when it was acquired by theCalifornia Department of Transportation. In early 1984 a restaurant opened in the depot. It was listed on theNational Register of Historic Places on September 20, 1984, asSouthern Pacific Depot.
TheRichardsonian Romanesque style station building was constructed of Almadensandstone.[4]
The modern elevated station, opened in 1997, has twoside platforms serving the two tracks of the Peninsula Subdivision.
