History

The former station in 1967

The Central Pacific Railroad reached Winnemucca on September 16, 1868, and the first train arrived to the town on October 1. The line was later acquired by the Southern Pacific Railroad. The first transcontinental train rolled through on May 11, 1869.[1] Amtrak took over intercity passenger rail service in the United States in May 1971 and service to Winnemucca continued on the City of San Francisco (later renamed San Francisco Zephyr, and later California Zephyr).

A small shelter was installed in 1993. In early 2012, a Script error: No such module "convert". accessible platform and a brick station building were constructed for the station as part of a $1.26 million project (equivalent to $Template:Error today).[2]
