What's the closest Amtrak to the CBX bridge at the TJ airport?

Santa Fe Station in San Diego.. CBX shuttle passes through about every hour back and forth to the Bridge and Lundeberg Field...

why Amtrak..
metro link is at the santa fe station also
ive ridden it up to LA then out to Montclair
a train is a train unless you are going way north

Santa Fe Station is correct. It's the end of the line for Amtrak. However, I would call the CBX shuttle number and make sure they know you will be there. Vans and drivers are great.

Jizz,
The last amtrak stop is santa fe stn.
You could have looked that up faster online instead of asking here :light:

Got an Uber to go up to the station and in route the Uber girl offered to take me off book up to LA (Calabasas) for $150 so I just did that.

Was a last minute deal. My flight from Hermosillo to LAX was cancelled and I scrambled to find another way home.

Long day.

Santa Fe in San Diego is served by Amtrak.
Santa Ana - by Metrolink and Amtrak.

Metrolink connects with NCTD Coaster in Oceanside which goes to the Santa Fe station in downtown San Diego.

"Connects".
My point was that it's not possible to take Metrolink from Santa Fe station.

Bob and Susan - 8-17-2017 at 01:07 PM

you are right///

I bought a ticket at the santa fe station on a "metro-link" like train to Oceanside (couple bucks not amtrack)...

I had to get off the train and buy another ticket there...
then a $2 all day sunday pass on the "real" metrolink to downtown la and Montclair ca

total cost from the border was about $8

Doable... Fewer trains, more stops... I thought Sunday pass was $10?
