Napa Junction is located on the California Northern Railroad (Formerly the Southern Pacific Railroad), 7.5 miles (12.1 km) south-southeast of Napa. The junction has connected the railroads of the California Coast Ranges north of San Francisco Bay to the national rail network since completion of the Santa Rosa and Carquinez Railroad in 1888.
