Train station in Sunnyvale, California, U.S.
Lawrence station is a Caltrain commuter rail station in Sunnyvale, California. The station has four tracks with side platforms serving the outer tracks.[1]
The original Lawrence station was built by the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad, which completed the first rail link between San Francisco and San Jose in 1864.[5] By August 1866, "Lawrence's" station had appeared in the timetable.[6] It was named for Alfred Chester Lawrence, who owned the land in the area at the time.[7] The San Francisco and San Jose Railroad was acquired by Southern Pacific, which continued to operate a station at Lawrence until 1945.[8] In 1982 or 1983,[9][10] Caltrain reopened the station.
