The Pacific Surfliner is Amtrak's third-busiest service , and the busiest outside the Northeast Corridor.The route is the successor of the San Diegan, which had been one of the premier trains of the Santa Fe Railway until Amtrak took over operations in 1971. Initially there were three daily trips, but in 1976 the schedule was expanded. In 1988 the service was extended to Santa Barbara, followed in 1995 with one trip a day going all the way to San Luis Obispo. As the name San Diegan no longer reflected the extent of the route, it was renamed the Pacific Surfliner in 2000. The route is named after the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway's Surf Line.

The Los Angeles – San Diego – San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Agency is governed by a board that includes eleven elected representatives from the counties the train travels through.
