Location

Redwood City was an inaugural station along the foundational San Francisco and San Jose Railroad, which commenced service on October 18, 1863.^[3]

A new station building located several hundred feet to the south was built in 1901.^[4][5][6] It was remodeled in 1937 and moved to the west side of the tracks.^[6] The structure burned down in 1979 and was replaced with a "temporary" station in a trailer. A new waiting shelter was built in 1995, designed to emulate the original though with the addition of a clock tower.^[7][8]
