Burlingame Train Station

Praised by the S. F. Chronicle on December 10, 1893, as “the prettiest station on the line,” Burlingame Train Station first opened for service on October 10, 1894, standing alone in an open field. It was built for passenger and freight service to accommodate the estates west of the highway, El Camino Real. The convenience of rail service invited the establishment of business and the building of homes, and the area around the station became known as Burlingame Square as the development of the town began. Restored on June 14, 1986, it marked 100 years of continuous rail service on September 17, 1994, and occupies a proud place on the United States Department of Interiors National Register of Historic Places.
