Valley Rail is a joint project by Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) and Amtrak San Joaquins which will add commuter rail service along the little-used Sacramento Subdivision between Stockton and Sacramento. Two daily roundtrips will be added to San Joaquins service, and ACE will extend its terminus from Stockton to Sacramento. Six new stations would be constructed along the line with a layover facility at the Natomas neighborhood of Sacramento. ACE would operate trains from Natomas to San Jose or Ceres along the branch added by the ACEforward project with a midday short turn to Stockton.

History
A Draft Environmental Impact Statement was released in 2020, with services expected begin no later than 2023. The North Elk Grove station was eliminated from planning in September 2020.
