Lawrence station is a Caltrain commuter rail station located in Sunnyvale, California. The station has four tracks with side platforms serving the outer tracks.
The original station at the site was established by the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad, which completed the first rail link between San Francisco and San Jose in 1864. A station referred to as "Lawrence's" appeared in timetables by August 1866. It was named after Alfred Chester Lawrence, who donated the land and served as the station agent until his death in 1886.
The line was later acquired by the Southern Pacific, which operated Lawrence station until its closure in 1945. Caltrain reopened the station in 1982 or 1983.
