College Park station (California)

College Park is a lightly used Caltrain station in San Jose, California. It is served by two trains in each direction Monday through Friday, and no train stops there on weekends or holidays. It is in Caltrain Fare Zone 4. College Park serves Bellarmine College Preparatory, a boys' secondary school, resulting in the school-related service times.

History

Before Caltrain, College Park was a station on Southern Pacific's Peninsula Commute line, in fare zone 6 (brown). It is mentioned in Jack London's 1903 novel The Call of the Wild.

In August 2005, service was reduced from 12 daily trains to four.

Due to the small size of the station, only two cars within a 5-car train are capable of opening their doors to allow passengers to board/disembark.

College Park station (MARTA)

College Park is a train station in College Park, Georgia, serving the Red and Gold lines of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail system. It opened on June 18, 1988. This station mainly serves College Park and surrounding areas, including Morrow, Riverdale, Clayton County, and South Fulton.

An interesting feature of this station is that the platform is narrower at the north end and wider at the south end, presumably to allow room for the yard leads just south of the station. The narrowing of the platform is most apparent at the north end of the platform.

In 2013, College Station had 9,026 average weekday entries, passing up Lindbergh Center to become the third busiest station, only behind the Airport and Five Points Stations.
