Gerber is a former railway station in Gerber, California. Long a depot of the Southern Pacific,[1] it was an inaugural Coast Starlight stop when the route started in 1971 (before becoming a "named" train).[2] Service did not last, however, with trains bypassing the station starting on June 11, 1972.[3][4]
