RailPAC Sacramento Director, Marcia Johnston, reports: “I attended the Capitol Corridor Service Expansion Event on Wednesday, September 6, 2006 at 8:15 a.m. at the Sacramento Valley Station, 431 “I” Street, Second Floor in the newly-renovated REA building that also houses the offices of Thomas Enterprises, a Starbucks, and a soon to be opened soup restaurant. The theme of this celebration capitalized on the on the old Jackie Gleason line, ‘How Sweet It Is!’”

On August 25, Amtrak Davis station agent John Murphy informs a customer about the new Capitol Corridor schedule of trains due to start on August 28. John has posted the new schedule on the board next to his position at this busy station that now sees 32 Capitols, 2 Coast Starlights, 2 California Zephyrs, and 12 San Joaquin connecting Thruway buses daily.
