Central Pacific Railroad Passenger Station
Central Pacific Railroad Passenger Station Review
At this reconstructed 1876 depot there's rolling stock to admire, a typical waiting room, and a small restaurant. On weekends April through September, and for special occasions October through December, a train ($10) departs hourly from the freight depot, south of the passenger station, making a 40-minute out-and-back trip between the Sacramento River and, less interestingly, Interstate 5.
