Location

Hillsdale station is a Caltrain station in San Mateo, California. Located adjacent to the Bay Meadows neighborhood, it is one of three Caltrain stations in the city. The elevated station has a single island platform serving the two tracks of the Peninsula Subdivision. It opened in 2021 as part of a grade crossing elimination project, replacing a previous station slightly to the south.
