North Valley Rail is a proposed railway service in California that would offer trips from Natomas to Chico.
[3] Initial estimates place the cost of the project at $530 million, with 600,000 passengers yearly and a start date of July 2031.
[4] Initial studies ruled out Oroville as a potential terminus of the line, leaving a Chico station as the preferred alternative.
Stations are planned in Natomas, Plumas Lake, Marysville, Gridley (with a bus connection to Oroville), and Chico.
[4][5] Future plans include a connection to the Capitol Corridor in Sacramento.
