Stay safe at stations!
**********************************************************************
Stay safe at our stations and cross tracks ONLY at designated crossing
areas. Capitol Corridor has many busy stations, such as Sacramento,
that share train tracks with freight trains that run on unpredictable
schedules. Never cross the tracks in front of an approaching train, as
appearances can be deceiving and trains may be moving faster than you
anticipate. Please give yourself an extra few minutes at the station
to cross tracks safely at designated crossings, if needed, so that you
can have an enjoyable trip aboard our trains. Tracks are for trains
not people. Stay Off, Stay Away, Stay Alive.

WICKED celebrates fall with Oz-some savings!
**********************************************************************
WICKED, the Tony and Grammy Award-winning musical phenomenon, is the
untold story of the witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy drops in, two
other girls meet in the land of Oz and embark on a remarkable odyssey,
culminating in the most spellbinding musical in years. Don’t miss the
musical the San Jose Mercury News calls “Magical and Wonderful and
Great – Oh MY!”
