The Stockton Subdivision is a railroad line in the U.S. state of California owned by the BNSF Railway.[2] It runs from the Port of Richmond, where trains interchange with the Richmond Pacific Railroad, to Fresno where the railway continues south as the or the Union Pacific . The line was originally constructed by the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad in the late 1890s before being acquired by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. BNSF spent $17.5 million to upgrade track, bridges, and crossings along the line in 2005.[3]
