Reno (Amtrak station)
The Reno Amtrak Station is a train station in Reno, Nevada, United States, served by Amtrak's California Zephyr train and multiple-frequency daily Thruway Motorcoach service. The ''California Zephyr'' runs once daily between Chicago, Illinois and Emeryville, California (in the San Francisco Bay Area). (The next westbound stop is in Truckee, California and the next eastbound stop is in Winnemucca.)
==Description==
The station is located at 280 North Center Street in downtown Reno. The tracks are owned by the Union Pacific Railroad, while the station and passenger platform for are owned by the City of Reno. The station does not have a parking lot. The tracks are grade separated after they were placed below ground level as they pass through the heart of downtown Reno.
The depot was built in 1926 by the Southern Pacific Railroad. It is the 3rd train depot built at this same location. The first two were built by the Central Pacific Railroad; both of these were destroyed by fires. This current Southern Pacific Depot was also used by the Virginia & Truckee Railroad, until 1950, when the railroad ceased operations. The depot was enlarged in 2007, as part of a project called ReTRAC, which lowered the tracks to eliminate most at-grade crossings in downtown Reno. In the process of excavating around the depot, many artifacts from Reno's past were discovered, some exposing not-well-known moments in Reno's history. Several of these are on display in the station lobby, including an old cistern used by the fire department, a long filled-in pedestrian tunnel, a previously unknown basement at a former masonic lodge, a horse watering fountain, American Indian artifacts, and several bottles dating as far back as the 1860s. The Western Pacific Railroad historically provided service to Reno, but never used this depot, instead using the now abandoned Nevada-California-Oregon Railroad Depot, a few blocks to the northeast.
On December 4, 2012, it was announced that the Station would be placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
