Has outlets too! And WiFi!

Been having some issues with a wheel on my car (low pro tires) so when I have to visit the family in Modesto I have found that riding the Amtrak has been a great alternative to driving. With has what it is and twin turbos not being eco friendly hopping on the train for a day trip has been pretty convenient and pleasant. If you get the two decker train the view out with is phenomenal and the food/drink car is full of fun stuff (even adult beverages!) On the train now and have to say it's great to kick up your feet after a long day. My drive home could have been 4 hours, now I'll drive from train depot to home, 10 minutes. The conductor and train depot employees are always great and courteous, if you haven't tried this I really think you should be bold and do it at least once, happy exploring!

One way. Yeah Dat Way

I don't have a problem with this train station. I have showed up late and seconds away from missing my Amtrak, even thou they took they sweet time getting to the window I believe the Amtrak waited for me, so that love! If you are in Merced and need to travel this Amtrak station will do they best to help!

Someone needs to learn how to spell. Building across from the tracks.

This is a small station that has recently received a remodel, though it's obvious what was replaced and what was not. Seating is ample and the bathrooms are spacious though in need of more regular checks and cleanings. Vending machines available. Smoking area outside which smells like urine. Not very many benches outside while you wait. Entertaining graffiti on the wall opposite the tracks (political activism should not be an endeavor taken on by the illiterate). I was only here for a couple hours total during my stops to and from Yosemite so I'm not a regular here, which would explain the superficial nature of this review.

My elderly Mom was seen at this station and was treated rudely and mean by Mark who rushes you away. The sad thing is we've heard about Mark and his laziness, but today was able to experience it for ourselves. Amtrak needs to do a review on Mark. They might miss more business. We're going Greyhound next time. No more money for you Amtrak...

Too Yosemite we go! I've been coming here since I was a kid as a connecting bus stop from my Emeryville Amtrak. There's a vending and soda machine and it's in a pretty cute neighborhood.

Proof that Mark is not helping anyone!

Had to take the Amtrak to Sacramento for a funeral and it was a pleasurable experience. I needed that and Amtrak provided. Thank you.

Casandra is amazing so sweet, friendly and helpful. She really put me at ease for my son's first train trip on his own.

Ask the Community - Amtrak

If i have a 7:23pm departure, and the YARTs drops me off at 7:03pm will I be ok?

Good idea to get at least 10 minute lead time. Trains don't wait and often on time. Hope you have a great trip
