Downtown San Diego station is a planned Coaster commuter rail station in San Diego, California. Planned to open in 2027, the station will be built in conjunction with upgrades to the BNSF Railway corridor and adds a pocket track to allow greater service frequencies.[3] A new passenger platform will be located between 1st and 5th Streets. The station is in the vicinity of the Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego Convention Center, and Petco Park;[2] it will further provide connections to the San Diego Trolley at the adjacent Convention Center station and Gaslamp Quarter station. Improvements were funded partly by a Trade Corridor Enhancement Program grant, derived from Road Repair and Accountability Act revenues, and partly by BNSF.[4]
As of February 2026, construction on the Downtown Platform is scheduled to begin in the spring. After 18 months of construction, the station will likely open in late-2027 or early-2028.[5]
