History
On July 27, 1861, Martin Murphy Jr. donated part of his property to the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad.[7][8] The railroad was completed in early 1864, and Murphy's Station was included in the Southern Pacific Railroad's San Francisco–San Jose line by 1886.[7] In 1912, the station was renamed Sunnyvale.[9][10]
The station plaza and parking structure were built in 2003, replacing the earlier station building.[11]
In March 2018, work began on the Sunnyvale Station Rehabilitation Project, which shifted the north pedestrian crossing further north by approximately 80 feet to accommodate six-car trains at station platforms. Work was completed in April 2019.[12][13]
