Corcoran is an Amtrak train station in Corcoran, California, United States.
History
Corcoran was made a scheduled stop on the Amtrak San Joaquin by October 29, 1989.[4]
The current station building, opened in 1999, replaced a former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway depot from 1907 that was demolished in 1998.[5] It exhibits Spanish Revival style architecture that includes decorative curvilinear gables and stuccoed walls. The depot is decorated with a large bas-relief called “Life of the Valley" depicting the importance of water to the residents, agriculture, and wildlife of the San Joaquin Valley.[5] Artist Garrett Masterson completed it with the help of his students at the nearby Corcoran State Prison.[5]
