Granby station is a train station in Granby, Colorado. It is served by Amtrak's California Zephyr, which runs once daily between Chicago and Emeryville, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area.{{refn|group="Note"|As of January 13, 2014, the previous schedule continues with the westbound train (Route 5) scheduled to stop at 10:37 am and the eastbound train (Route 6) scheduled to stop at 3:12 pm.{{cite web|url=http://www.amtrak.com/ccurl/708/846/California-Zephyr-Schedule-011314.pdf|title=California Zephyr|website=amtrak.com|publisher=Amtrak|page=2|format=PDF|date=13 Jan 2014|accessdate=10 Jan 2014}}}} Despite its antiquated appearance and structure (the station is made of wood), the station was built in 1987.
Granby is proposed as a station to use for access of the Rocky Mountain National Park by train.{{cite web|url=https://www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/directions.htm|title=Rocky Mountains National Park Colorado: Directions|website=nps.gov|publisher=National Park Service|access-date=10 Jan 2014}} However, while the train ride (from the Denver side) provides impressive views, the station itself lies {{convert|16|mi}} from the park, without public transportation connections.
