History

Original Encinitas depot

The original Encinitas depot, built in 1887 by the California Southern Railroad (which later became part of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway) still stands. It has been moved from its original location to 510 North Coast Highway, and is now in use as a coffee shop.[6]

On October 7, 2013, the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner began stopping at four Coaster stations including Encinitas.[7] Amtrak dropped service at Carlsbad Poinsettia and Encinitas on October 9, 2017, due to low ridership.[8]
