The station is on the border of [[San Francisco~~, California]]~~ and the neighboring city of [[Brisbane, California\|Brisbane]]. The parking lot and ~~about~~ the northern ~~quarter~~section of the ~~platforms~~station are in ~~the [[Visitacion Valley]] District of~~ San Francisco;, while the remainder is in Brisbane. The ~~official~~station address is in San Francisco proper.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Caltrain \|title=Bayshore Station {{!}} Caltrain \|url=https://www.caltrain.com/station/bayshore \|access-date=2023-03-10 \|website=www.caltrain.com \|language=en}}</ref> Bayshore has four tracks: two side tracks for trains stopping at the station, and two in the middle for trains that do not stop at the station. The station is located in an industrial area at the center of the proposed [[Brisbane Baylands development]], making it the lowest ridership Caltrain station that receives regular weekday service. == History ==▼ Bayshore was established by the [[Southern Pacific Railroad]] in 1907 along the new [[Bayshore Cutoff]], a more direct route into San Francisco. The railroad planned to build an extensive terminal facility in Visitacion Valley that would serve as the primary maintenance and marshaling facility for the [[San Francisco Peninsula]]. Financial problems delayed completion of the project, and the {{convert\|250\|acre\|km2\|~~sing~~adj=on}} Bayshore rail yard and shops did not open until 1918. The facility operated around the clock and employed over 1,000 workers.▼ The Bayshore shops maintained all the locomotives on the Southern Pacific's Coast Division which stretched south to Santa Barbara. By 1952, this was 133 steam engines, but by 1954, diesel-electric locomotives had become common enough that the Bayshore steam shops were closed. The roundhouse continued to service diesel locomotives, but the decline of industry and shipping in San Francisco and along the peninsula led to the closure of the yards in the early 1980s.▼ Four tracks pass through, two in the middle and two side tracks for trains stopping at the station. During commute hours on weekdays, some trains are scheduled to wait at Bayshore on the side tracks until the Baby Bullet passes on the bypass track. A centerline fence prevents passengers from crossing the four tracks. The station was fully rebuilt and shifted south as part of the [[Caltrain Express]] project to accommodate the four track cross section. The new station opened in its current location on March 22, 2004.<ref>{{cite web \| url=https://subwaynut.com/california/caltrain/bayshore/index.php \| title=Bayshore (Caltrain) - the SubwayNut }}</ref> ▲==History== ▲Bayshore was established by the [[Southern Pacific Railroad]] in 1907 along the new [[Bayshore Cutoff]], a more direct route into San Francisco.

However, following the [[Caltrain Express~~\|CTX Project~~]], completed in 2004, the Bayshore station was rebuilt and moved south. {{as of\|2018}}, the existing Bayshore station straddles the border between the counties of [[San Mateo County\|San Mateo]] and San Francisco; the platform itself is in [[Brisbane, California\|Brisbane]] while the main parking lot is in San Francisco. The [[T Third Street]] extension opened in early 2007 without a connection to Caltrain.
