History

Western Pacific

Hayward station in the 1910s

The Western Pacific Railroad (WP) opened through Hayward in 1909. Passenger service began on August 22, 1910; both of the two daily round trips stopped at Haywards (later renamed Hayward). [3] [4] [5] A local train timed for commuting to Oakland and San Francisco was added on October 1. [6] [7] A Mission-style station building, located between C Street and D Street, was built by 1911. [8] [9] The WP promised to operate hourly Oakland–Hayward service using motor railcars, but failed to do so. [10] The commuter train was discontinued in 1914, leaving just two daily round trips. [11] [12]

One of the two daily round trips ceased stopping at Hayward and other local stations in January 1919. [13] [14] The WP reduced service on the line to one daily train (the Scenic Limited) during the 1930s, but added the Exposition Flyer in 1939. [15] [16] [17] Hayward continued to be a flag stop served by only one daily round trip (the Feather River Express, then the Royal Gorge) until 1950, when the three-day-a-week Zephyrette replaced the daily Royal Gorge. [18] [19] [20] The Zephyrette was discontinued in October 1960, ending Western Pacific service to Hayward and other East Bay local stops not served by the California Zephyr . [21] [22] The station remained open for freight into 1960s. [23]

The Southern Pacific Railroad had a separate Hayward station to the west of the downtown area. It was closed in 1941 and reopened for Amtrak service in 1997. [24] [25]

BART built its Fremont line using the Western Pacific alignment (Oakland Subdivision), with a station just north of the former WP station site. The city had initially wanted the line to be built in the median of the Foothill Freeway – which itself was never constructed – north of the WP alignment. [26] The BART Board approved the name "Hayward" for the station in December 1965. [27] A $1.21 million construction contract was awarded in June 1968. [28] The station opened on September 11, 1972. [29] Due to a national strike that year by elevator constructors, elevator construction on the early stations was delayed. Elevators at most of the initial stations, including Hayward, were completed in the months following the opening. [30] [31]

AC Transit bus service began serving Hayward station when it opened. [32] On November 21, 1977, SamTrans began operating service between Hayward station and San Mateo via the San Mateo–Hayward Bridge. [33] It was discontinued in August 1999. [34] AC Transit resumed service over the bridge in March 2003, operating its route M between Castro Valley and Hillsdale via Hayward. [35] The route was cut back from Castro Valley to Hayward in March 2010, and was suspended in 2020. [36] [37] [38]

A transit-oriented development (TOD) project, which replaced the surface parking lots on the northeast and south sides of the station, was completed in 1998. It included a parking garage, townhomes, a new city hall, and a Greyhound Lines bus station. [39] [40] : 7  Seismic retrofitting of the parking garage took place in 2009–2010. [41] Installation of second-generation faregates at the BART station took place in December 2024. [42] As of 2024, BART anticipates soliciting developer proposals by 2028 for additional TOD at the station. [40] : 16

<i>Zephyrette</i> (train) American passenger train service

The Zephyrette was a tri-weekly train consisting of a Budd Rail Diesel Car (RDC) run by the Western Pacific Railroad between Oakland, California, and Salt Lake City from 1950 to 1960. Covering 924 miles (1,487 km), it was the longest RDC service in the United States. The successor to the Western Pacific's Royal Gorge as a secondary supplement to the California Zephyr, the Zephyrette began service on September 15, 1950. Both the existence and western terminus of the route were shaped by the stipulations of regulatory agencies, while the two RDCs the railroad purchased for the train were substantially modified before entering revenue service.
