Colfax station is an Amtrak train station in Colfax, California. It serves the California Zephyr line. It is unstaffed. The station was built in 1905 by 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.[2] The platform is movable to accommodate Union Pacific rotary snowplows, which are liable to scrape a platform 8 inches above top of rail.[3]
Between January 1, 1998 – February 13, 2000 a single round-trip of the Capitol Corridor terminated at Colfax. This service ended because of low ridership.
In FY2012 Colfax was the 69th-busiest of Amtrak's 74 California stations, boarding or detraining an average of about 12 passengers daily.[4]
