History
The city and the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency funded the design and construction of the current $1.25 million depot, which opened in July 2006.[4] Designed by Studio SMS of nearby Roseville and inspired by historic 19th and early 20th century stations, the depot is dominated by a clock tower. The building is finished in a random ashlar stone veneer in varying shades of grey and beige and stucco with complementary brown tones.[4]
In 2019 Rocklin was the 52nd-busiest of Amtrak's 73 California stations, boarding or detraining an average of about 47 passengers daily.[3]
Design
The depot has a waiting room for rail and bus passengers, and there are also offices for the Rocklin Area Chamber of Commerce as well as a room reserved for community meetings.[4]
Rocklin station has moveable platforms to accommodate Union Pacific's rotary snowplows, which require clearance of 8 in (20 cm) above the rail.[5]
