ACE gives Stockton a rail front door to the Bay Area
Robert J. Cabral Station serves ACE trips toward San Jose and Gold Runner's Sacramento branch, while Stockton's other rail station serves the Oakland branch.
Robert J. Cabral Station at 949 East Channel Street is Stockton’s ACE station. ACE is a weekday, commute-shaped service that runs west through the Tri-Valley toward Santa Clara and San Jose. Check the exact train before leaving because the morning and afternoon schedules do not work like all-day local rail.
Cabral also serves Gold Runner trains on the Sacramento branch. Gold Runner is the current name for the former Amtrak San Joaquins service. Stockton has a second Gold Runner station on San Joaquin Street, and that station serves the Oakland branch. The two Stockton stations are not interchangeable.
Read the ticket before choosing a station or asking for a ride. Look for both the operator name and the Stockton station name. A Gold Runner trip through Sacramento points to Cabral; a Gold Runner trip through Oakland points to San Joaquin Street. An ACE trip points to Cabral.
For an ACE trip, buy or load the ticket before boarding. Activate an ACE mobile ticket just before getting on the train and before an inspector asks to see it. Save the return train and station address too, since a map search for “Stockton station” can show the wrong building.
