The Lincoln Amtrak station is a train station in Lincoln, Nebraska, United States served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system. It is served daily by the California Zephyr.

Of the five Nebraska stations served by Amtrak, Lincoln was the second busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 30 passengers daily.[1]

Due to the construction of a new sports arena, the tracks used by the California Zephyr will be relocated, meaning that a new station building will be built about 700 feet (210 m) to the west of the current facility.[2] The new station will be about 2,750 square feet (255 m2), with an 800 feet (240 m) platform and will cost about $1.9 million.[2]
