Amtrak’s San Joaquin trains that roll daily through Fresno en route to Bakersfield, Oakland and Sacramento marked their eighth consecutive year carrying at least 1 million passengers, and maintained their status as the sixth busiest passenger rail route in the nation.
It’s one of only five routes outside the populous Northeast Corridor between Boston and Washington, D.C. to carry more than a million riders last year.
