Historic [[streetcar]]s from [[History Park at Kelley Park|History Park]] operate on the light rail lines in downtown during holidays. Long-term plans call for [[BART]] to be expanded to Santa Clara from the [[Berryessa/North San José station]]. Originally, the extension was to be built all at once, but due to the recession, sales tax revenue has dramatically decreased. Because of this, the extension will be built in two phases. Phase 1 extended service to San Jose with the completion of the Milpitas and Berryessa BART stations on June 13, 2020. In addition, San Jose will be a major stop on the future [[California High-Speed Rail]] route between Los Angeles and San Francisco.<ref>{{cite news |first=David |last=Goll |title=BART-San Jose planners in it for the long haul |url=http://sanjose.bizjournals.com/sanjose/stories/2009/03/16/story4.html |newspaper=San Jose Business Journal |date=March 13, 2009 |access-date=March 13, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091114080843/http://sanjose.bizjournals.com/sanjose/stories/2009/03/16/story4.html |archive-date=November 14, 2009 |url-status=live }}</ref> [[San Jose Diridon station|Diridon Station]] (formerly Cahill Depot, 65 Cahill Street) is the meeting point of all regional commuter rail service in the area.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://abc7news.com/5254419/ |title=Central Valley high-speed rail may help solve Bay Area housing, job crisis |last1=Miguel |first1=Ken |last2=Lim |first2=Dion |date=April 23, 2019 |website=ABC7 San Francisco|language=en |access-date=April 23, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190423120942/https://abc7news.com/5254419/ |archive-date=April 23, 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref> It was built in 1935 by the [[Southern Pacific Railroad]], and was refurbished in 1994.
