Bakersfield Subdivision

[1] The line was originally constructed by the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad in the late 1890s before being acquired by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and becoming its Valley Subdivision.

BNSF refurbished the line in February 2007, investing $16 million for upgrades along the route.

The San Joaquin Valley Railroad interchanges with the BNSF via connections in Fresno and Bakersfield.

The southern segment of the Amtrak California San Joaquins operates on the line.

Large segments of the California High-Speed Rail corridor will parallel the Bakersfield Subdivision.
