VTA Oakridge Branch |
| Description: |
In South San Jose, we cross the tracks of VTAs Oakridge Branch. This line connects the Station at Ohlone-Chynoweth with the busy Oakridge Mall Complex. This line is usually served by a single unit shuttling between the stations. Chynoweth is just around the bend in front of the camera, and Oakridge is on the other side of the elevated Highway 85. |
