Grand Junction station
The Grand Junction station is a train station in Grand Junction, Colorado, United States, that is served by Amtrak's California Zephyr, which runs once daily between Chicago and Emeryville, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Until 1992 Amtrak used the ex-Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad station, constructed in 1906, located next door to the current building. The current station building was built in the late 1970s and originally used as a restaurant.
Beginning in 1983, both the Desert Wind and the Pioneer stopped at the Grand Junction Station. Service by the Pioneer was dropped when that train was rerouted through Wyoming in 1991. Service by the Desert Wind ended when Amtrak discontinued that train in 1997. Also in 1997, the Green River Station station replaced the former station in Thompson Springs, Utah, as the next station to the west.
Of the nine Colorado stations served by Amtrak, Grand Junction was the third-busiest in FY2016.
