Storey Train Station
Storey (known as Madera by Amtrak) was an unstaffed train station located in the unincorporated community of Storey, and about southeast of the Fresno River, in Madera County, California, United States. Just prior to its closure in November 2010 and replacement by the new Madera station, this station was served by Amtrak's (the National Railroad Passenger Corporation) ''San Joaquin''. Prior to Amtrak, this station was also previously served by Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad's (ATSF) ''San Francisco Chief'' and its Oakland-Barstow Line.
==Description==
The Storey Station (Madera) was located at Avenue 15½ at 29th Road. Prior to its removal (following its closure in 2010) the station had one side platform on the southwest side of the southwest track. In addition to the passenger platform, the station included a payphone, a bench, and a parking area with about fifteen spaces on a hard surface. There was also a lighted sign that would indicate when trains were coming. As of 2001, there was a bus-stop like shelter protecting the bench, but by 2008 the shelter had been removed.〔 Compare the photos taken on 15 December 2001 to the ones take on 15 September 2008〕
Unlike the Southern Pacific Railroad (SP) that built a train depot in downtown Madera, the ATSF never constructed a depot for the Storey Station. Instead, the Storey Station was operated as a flag stop for all ATSF trains. Passengers would signal their desire to board an approaching train by waiving a flag.〔 The original station, as well as the local area, was named after William Benson Storey, the former president of the ATSF.〔
Of the 73 California stations regularly served by Amtrak in the Fiscal Year 2010, Madera (Storey) was the 49th-busiest, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 55 passengers daily.
