Elk Grove station is a planned train station in Elk Grove, California to be located north of Laguna Boulevard at 3134 Dwight Road.[1][2][3] it is part of the Valley Rail Sacramento Extension Project between Stockton and Sacramento. It will be served by Amtrak California San Joaquins and Altamont Corridor Express trains. An earlier proposal for a North Elk Grove station was rejected after the Sacramento Regional Sanitation District (owners of the property) objected to its construction.[4][5][6] The station is expected to open with the commencement of ACE service to Natomas in 2026.[7] In February 2024, Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen announced that the City of Elk Grove had closed escrow on the station property. At the same time, it was announced that the city was going through the design phase for the station.[2]
At least three other railroad stations served Elk Grove in the past.[8] Amtrak Thruway buses currently stop curbside at 9180 Harbour Point Drive.
