The Granby station is a train station in Granby, Colorado. It is served by Amtrak's California Zephyr, which runs once daily between Chicago and Emeryville, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area.[Note 1] Despite its antiquated appearance and structure (the station is made of wood), the station was built in 1987.
Granby is proposed as a station to use for access of the Rocky Mountain National Park by train.[4] However, while the train ride (from the Denver side) provides impressive views, the station itself lies a good sixteen miles from the park, without public transportation connections.
