Description

The station is located at 4155 South Sandridge Drive on approximately 20.5 acres of land [5] and is accessed from 4000 South (SR-37) at 2300 West. Unlike nearly all other stations served by the FrontRunner, the station is located in a primarily residential area.

The station has a free Park and Ride lot with about 500 parking spaces available. [3] The station is located within the Quiet Zone, so trains do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor. [6] The inaugural FrontRunner train departed the station southbound at 8:30 am on April 26, 2008. [4]
