Attention Gold Runner Passengers

Amtrak’s Madera station is scheduled to be relocated by mid-2025 due to California High-Speed Rail work. The station relocation is in Phase 1 currently, which will require detours to access the current station location at 18770 Rd 26 in Madera, CA 93638.

Due to on-going construction, customers should anticipate delays.

Road Closures

Passengers driving to the station will encounter multiple detours from SR 99 by using Ave 17 (EB), then Lake St/Rd 27 (NB), and Club Dr (WB) to access the station via Rd 26 (detour signage is available along this route).
Passengers are encouraged to allow an additional 30 minutes to arrive at the station before trains or connecting services depart.
