Modesto station is a staffed Amtrak station in Modesto, California. It is served by the San Joaquins service. Designed by Pacific Design Associates of Modesto and VBN Architects of Oakland, the $2.4 million depot was built on four acres of former dairy pastureland.[http://www.greatamericanstations.com/Stations/MOD/Station_view Great American Stations]. Accessed February 13, 2013. The station has one platform which serves a single track.

Before November 12, 1999, trains stopped instead in Riverbank, about 4 miles north.{{Cite web|url=http://www.trainweb.org/usarail/modesto.htm|title = Amtrak – Modesto, CA (MOD)}} In the past trains also stopped at the Modesto Transportation Center, which was built by the Southern Pacific Transportation Company in 1915, and in the future rail service will move there again when the Altamont Corridor Express begins service to Modesto.{{Cite web|last=Holland|first=John|date=10 Dec 2021|title=CA: Contractor will revamp Modesto's old train depot for ACE.
