History

The Northwestern Pacific Railroad began serving Healdsburg in July 1871, and built the station building around 1891. In 1928, the station was remodeled and a 1,008 square foot (93.6 m2) "waiting room arcade" was constructed nearby.[2] Train service was discontinued in 1958, whereupon the building was boarded up for several years after. It was rebuilt in 2011 by the city with the anticipation of future rail service.[1]

As of February 2023, SMART intends to wait until June 2023 to determine whether it would have sufficient funding to combine the Healdsburg extension with the completion of the Windsor extension. If the full $113 million in additional grants is received, Windsor service would begin in 2025 or 2026, and Healdsburg service by 2027.[3]
