North Elk Grove[2] was a proposed train station that would be a stop on Altamont Corridor Express and Amtrak California's San Joaquin services. The station site is northeast of Elk Grove on a piece of land owned by the Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District. The Sacramento RT Light Rail Franklin station is located 23 mi (1.1 km) to the east also on Consumnes River Boulevard.[3]

The station was rejected from consideration in September 2020, due to opposition from the Sacramento Regional Sanitation District and not having support from the community.[4]
