CONCEPTUAL WORK PPROGRAM SAN JOAQUINS Morning Express Service will start on May 7 th. This service can be provided without additional cost by adjusting current train schedules. The Morning Express will start in Fresno and arrive in Sacramento just before 8:00am. The new overall schedule allows for a full day in Sacramento and a half day, both in the morning and afternoon. Based upon the success of the Sacramento Morning Express concept, a Bay Area Morning Express train is planned for start-up in April of 2019.
