Orland was a Southern Pacific Railroad station in Orland, California. The Northern Railway built the line out from Colusa County to Orland, opening for traffic on July 31, 1882.[3] The railroad had assumed management of the town site a few years earlier.[4] The Klamath served the station as late as 1954, and ran between Portland and Oakland,[5] but the stop did not appear in the 1966 timetables. After Amtrak took over nationwide passenger operations, the state lobbied the company in 1974 to add the station as a stop on the Coast Starlight route, running daily from Los Angeles to Seattle. While the station saw service for a time,[6] it was bypassed in 1982.[7] The station building was subsequently moved to Glenn County Fairgrounds.[8]
