Orland was a Southern Pacific Railroad station in Orland, California. The Southern Pacific had built the line out from Colusa County by 1880 when the railroad assumed management of the town.[3] The Klamath served the station as late as 1954, and ran between Portland and Oakland,[4] 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,[5] 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]
