Redwood City station is a Caltrain commuter rail station located in Redwood City, California. It is served by all trains. The station has two side platforms serving the two tracks of the Peninsula Subdivision.

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]
