Corcoran was made a scheduled stop on the Amtrak San Joaquin on July 29, 1989.[2]
The current station building, opened in 1999, replaced a former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway depot from 1907 that was demolished in 1998.[4] It exhibits Spanish Revival style architecture that includes decorative curvilinear gables and stuccoed walls. The depot is decorated with a large bas-relief called “Life of the Valley" depicting the importance of water to the residents, agriculture, and wildlife of the San Joaquin Valley.[4] Artist Garrett Masterson completed it with the help of his students at the nearby California State Prison, Corcoran.[4]
San Joaquins are expected to cease services here once California High-Speed Rail operations begin.[5]

To most efficiently integrate the San Joaquins and the interim HSR services, Merced will become the southern terminus for San Joaquins rail service once operations begin on the HSR infrastructure at the end of 2030.
