Healdsburg station is a former and future rail station in Healdsburg, California. It will be served by Sonoma–Marin Area Rail Transit after a further phase of construction.
History
[edit]The Northwestern Pacific Railroad began serving Healdsburg in July 1871, and built the station building around 1891. In 1928, the station was remodeled and a 1,008 square foot (93.6 m2) "waiting room arcade" was constructed nearby.[2] Train service was discontinued after November 10, 1958,[3] whereupon the building was boarded up for several years after. It was rebuilt in 2011 by the city with the anticipation of future rail service.[1]
As of February 2023[update], SMART intends to wait until June 2023 to determine whether it would have sufficient funding to combine the Healdsburg extension with the completion of the Windsor extension. If the full $113 million in additional grants is received, Windsor service would begin in 2025 or 2026, and Healdsburg service by 2027.[4] In June 2023, the agency received a $30 million state grant, sufficient to complete the Windsor extension and begin some Healdsburg construction.[5]
As of February 2024[update], The City Council of Healdsburg confirmed this location as the future Healdsburg SMART station. [6]
