Orland station


Orland was a Southern Pacific Railway station in Orland, California. The Southern Pacific had built the line out from Colusa County by 1880 when the railroad assumed management of the town. The Klamath served the station as late as 1954, and ran between Portland and Oakland, but the stop did not appear in the 1966 timetables. After Amtrak took over nationwide passenger operations, the state lobbied the company in 1974 to add the station as a stop on the Coast Starlight route, running daily from Los Angeles to Seattle. While the station saw service for a time, it was bypassed in 1982. The station building was subsequently moved to Glenn County Fairgrounds.
