caption_attribution_description: English: Westbound California Zephyr #5 at Colfax station
context_page_description: Colfax station is an Amtrak train station in Colfax, California. It serves the California Zephyr line. It is unstaffed. The station was built in 1905 by Southern Pacific Railroad and was restored in the early 21st Century; in addition to a waiting room, the building also houses the Colfax Heritage Museum. The platform is movable to accommodate Union Pacific rotary snowplows, which are liable to scrape a platform 8 inches above top of rail.
  Between January 1, 1998, and February 13, 2000, a single round-trip of the Capitol Corridor terminated at Colfax. This service ended because of low ridership.
  The station building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as Colfax Passenger Station, with the 1880-built freight depot listed separately as Colfax Freight Station.
