"The Madera high-speed rail station is a key component of the upcoming Merced-Bakersfield high-speed rail service and will create better transportation options, good-paying construction jobs, and cleaner air for Central Valley residents," Padilla said in a statement.
"The San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority, which oversees the Amtrak trains that run from Bakersfield to the Bay Area on the BNSF Railway freight tracks, is planning and designing a new station to be built about eight miles to the southeast."
"Plans for a new train station south of Madera serving Amtrak and future high-speed rail trains got a boost this week with a $54 million federal grant."
"The existing Amtrak station has a sheltered platform where passengers can board trains, but no ticket office or enclosed waiting area."
