Commuter train service to and from Placer County is expected to increase tenfold in the coming years.
Capitol Corridor’s 2019-20 business plan announced Tuesday calls for starting work on an 18-mile stretch of track between Sacramento and Roseville. Currently the Roseville station only has one round trip per day. Two additional trains are planned to serve the route by 2024, with a total of 10 round trips by 2027. Called the “Third Track” project, it’s expected to cost at least $275 million.
