This article is about the Caltrain station. For the VTA light rail station 2.5 miles (4.0 km) away also named for Blossom Hill Road, see Blossom Hill station (VTA).
Blossom Hill station is a Caltrain station located off Monterey Road near the Blossom Hill Road expressway in San Jose, California. The station is only served during weekday peak hours, with northbound trains in the morning and southbound trains in the evening.
A footbridge crosses the tracks at the station allowing pedestrians to access both Monterey Road and Great Oaks Parkway. The bridge, opened on September 28, 2012, was named Xander's Crossing after two-year-old Alexander Arriaga, who was killed crossing the tracks in the area in 2005.[4] Service between San Jose and Gilroy, including Blossom Hill station, was increased to four weekday round trips on September 25, 2023.[5]
