Gerber is a former railway station in Gerber, California. A former depot of the Southern Pacific, it was the junction of the company's two lines which traverse both the east and west sides of the Sacramento Valley to the south.
After the Southern Pacific yards in Red Bluff had become too small to handle the trafficRead more
on the Shasta Division, the company sought to expand. Prices for land adjacent to the facility in Red Bluff were set high, so SP acquired a new site to the south in the town of Gerber. A new station building was constructed, nearly twice as large as the one it replaced in Red Bluff, with a new crew quarters, roundhouse, and machine shops. Operations and employees were transferred to the new station on August 15, 1916. In 1928, Gerber was selected as the site for Southern Pacific's airport, meant as a base for the company's planned airline which would supplement passenger train services between California and Oregon. These plans did not come to fruition. Trains had ceased serving the station at night by 1966, causing SP to shut down evening operations that year. Gerber was an inaugural Amtrak Coast Starlight stop when the route started in 1971 (prior to the route receiving its named designation). Service did not last, however, with trains bypassing the station starting in March 1972. Southern Pacific went on to close the station a few months later on May 24, eliminating the switching point between Dunsmuir and Roseville.
