History

The Central Pacific Railroad selected Truckee as the name of its railroad station by August 1867, even though the tracks would not reach the station until a year later in 1868. In FY2012 Truckee was the 61st-busiest of the 74 Amtrak stations in California, boarding or detraining an average of about 26 passengers daily.


Bus service

The station is served by daily Greyhound buses, and local Tahoe Truckee Area Regional Transit (TART).
