Berkeley was an original stop on the Capitol Corridor (originally named Capitols) when that service began in late 1991. San Joaquins service at Berkeley ended in 1993 because of low ridership, but trains continue to pass through the station without stopping. The station building was designated a Berkeley Landmark in 2001.
The station building was then converted to a restaurant [4] called the Santa Fe Bar and Grill [5] and functioned in that capacity until 2000. [2] In 2001, it was purchased by the Berkeley Montessori School and redeveloped into a private school. [2] That same year, the building was designated a City of Berkeley Landmark.

In 1885, the Central Pacific's operation of the Berkeley Branch was turned over to its affiliate, the Southern Pacific. In 1911, the Berkeley line was electrified and became part of the subsidiary East Bay Electric Lines. [2] From 1876 to about 1892, Berkeley Station included a small wooden depot located close to Center and Shattuck.
The station was designed by Maher & Martens of San Francisco in collaboration with Parsons Brinckerhoff, Tudor Construction, and Bechtel. [8] In 1995, BART changed the name of the station from "Berkeley" to "Downtown Berkeley" in an effort to minimize confusion between this station and North Berkeley. [citation needed]
The station opened for passengers on 1 August 1876. [3] Before the branch line was built, Berkeley had been served by Berkeley Road, which was originally called "Dursley and Berkeley Road" and opened in 1844. It was two miles east of the town. Berkeley station was marginally more convenient: about a mile north of the town.
