Salinas is a passenger rail station in Salinas, California, United States. The depot, constructed in 1941 by the Southern Pacific Railroad, exhibits a pared down Spanish Revival style as influenced by the then-popular Art Deco movement. Spanish Revival elements include the red tile roof and stuccoed walls, while the Art Deco influence is visible in the rectilinear composition and clean lines.[4]

Greyhound moved its Salinas station here in 2015.[5]

The Transportation Agency for Monterey County has plans for expanding Caltrain commuter rail service from the station to the bay area, with long term plans to extend Amtrak California's Capitol Corridor as well.[6][7][8] Local bus service will move to the expanded station from the Salinas Transit Center several blocks away.[9]
