On Saturday, December 5 and Sunday, December 6, 2009, the Capitol Corridor will operate on an alternate route between Oakland Coliseum and Fremont. From 7am until 7pm, Capitol Corridor trains will not stop at the Hayward (HAY) station to allow a window of time for Union Pacific’s work crew to complete the project. Service will be provided to the Hayward station via connecting motorcoach service.
