Info

The Sparks station is a former train station in Sparks, Nevada, that closed in 2009. Prior to closing, it was served daily by Amtrak's (the National Railroad Passenger Corporation) California Zephyr, which runs once daily between Chicago, Illinois, and Emeryville, California (in the San Francisco Bay Area). Although the California Zephyr still passes through Sparks, it does not stop any longer.
In May 2009, the station was closed because of its proximity to Reno. Safety issues also played a part, as the former station was in a freight yard and what appears to be the station building is actually a Union Pacific yard office.
