Location

Morgan Hill station is a Caltrain station located in the downtown area of Morgan Hill, California. The station is only served during weekday peak hours, with northbound trains in the morning and southbound trains in the evening.

The original Southern Pacific station opened in 1899 as Morganhill. The railroad closed the station in November 1958. VTA rebuilt the station for an extension to Caltrain in 1992.[2] Service between San Jose and Gilroy, including Morgan Hill station, was increased to four weekday round trips on September 25, 2023.[5]

The station will eventually be served by Amtrak when the Capitol Corridor is extended to Salinas station.[6]
