It is served by San Joaquins trains operating on the branch between Oakland and Bakersfield.

A small shelter building was added in December 1990, with an asymmetric teal-colored metal roof supported by concrete pillars. The building was a partially open-sided pavilion with sheltered concrete benches for travelers.[2] The station building included a ticket booth for passenger assistance,[3] but Amtrak's timetables never listed the station as staffed.[4]
By the late 2010s, the shelter became an "area of concern" for Amtrak, the city of Antioch, and the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority (SJJPA) because it was "in a consistent state of disarray due to vandalism and transient use." One particularly notable incident came in 2018 when law enforcement discovered a homeless encampment on the station's roof.[5] Because of that incident, in early September 2019 the shelter structure was demolished and additional landscaping was added in January 2020.
Issues continued after the demolition, including assaults on Amtrak employees and theft of a wheelchair lift. In March 2023, the SJJPA voted to closed Antioch–Pittsburg station upon the opening of Oakley station, then expected in 2024.[6]
