Train service from Sacramento and the Bay Area—the greenest way to visit.
Auburn Station, at 277 Nevada Street, is the eastern terminus of Amtrak's Capitol Corridor line and the gateway for arriving in town by rail. The Capitol Corridor connects Auburn westward through Sacramento, the East Bay (Oakland and Emeryville, with bus links to San Francisco), and on to San Jose. Auburn is served by one daily Capitol Corridor round trip, so visitors should plan carefully around that limited frequency; many travelers ride to or from Sacramento and connect to additional daily trains there. The station sits at the Conheim Multimodal Station, where it links with local and regional buses for onward travel. Tickets and current schedules are available through Amtrak (1-800-USA-RAIL) or capitolcorridor.org. Tip: confirm the day's exact departure time in advance, as the single round trip leaves little margin for error.
