Guadalupe station is served by four Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains (two in each direction).[2]

In Fiscal Year 2022, 9,744 passengers boarded or detrained at Guadalupe station.[1]

History edit

Service to the station began in July 1998.[3] A new station was built to replace the former structure, which was demolished around 1974. The new station was built in a Spanish Colonial Revival style featuring a barrel red-tiled roof and white stuccoed walls, similar to that of older train stations in Southern California.[3] The San Diegan was renamed Pacific Surfliner in 2000.
