Colfax station is an Amtrak train station in Colfax, California. Served by the California Zephyr, it is unstaffed. The station was built in 1905 by the Southern Pacific Railroad and was restored in the early 21st century; in addition to a waiting room, the building also houses the Colfax Heritage Museum.[1] The platform is movable to accommodate Union Pacific rotary snowplows, which are liable to scrape a platform eight inches above top of rail.[2]
History
The first station built on the site opened around 1865.[1] The Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad began service from here on April 11, 1876,[3] running until 1942.[1] The modern station was built in 1905.[1]
Between January 1, 1998, and February 13, 2000, a single round-trip of the Capitol Corridor terminated at Colfax. This service ended because of low ridership.
The station building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as Colfax Passenger Station, with the 1880-built freight depot listed separately as Colfax Freight Station.
since 2024[update]Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., Amtrak plans to modify the platform for accessibility later in the 2020s.[4]
