El Cajon Transit Center (formerly Main & Marshall station) is a San Diego Trolley station served by the Orange and the Green lines in the San Diego suburb of El Cajon, California. The station is a major commuter center for the large suburb and is the convergence of multiple local and regional bus routes operated by the Metropolitan Transit System and Greyhound Lines.
El Cajon opened as the eastern terminus of the third segment of the East Line (now Orange Line) on June 23, 1989, which operated from in downtown San Diego. The physical line was extended to its current terminus at on July 26, 1995.
From July 1995 to July 2005, Orange Line service continued to terminate at the end of the line at Santee Town Center.
When the Green Line opened in July 2005, the new route took over service to Santee, and the Orange Line was truncated to .
The September 2012 system redesign truncated the Orange Line once again to El Cajon.[6]
Following the sale of the naming rights of the Green Line to Sycuan Casino, the station was renamed El Cajon–Sycuan. However, this is no longer the case.
The April 2018 system redesign extended the Orange Line to, following the opening of station in April 2018. Courthouse became the line's current western terminus, and the one-stop extension to Arnele was meant to relieve congestion and confusion at El Cajon.
A third track is being added to the station, and the eastern platform is being extended to allow shuttle trains to terminate there.[7] When the platform is completed in the fall of 2024, the Copper Line will be established which will operate between this new platform and Santee Town Center. This will allow the Green and Orange lines to terminate in El Cajon.[8] [9] [10]
There are two tracks, each served by a side platform, with a third track and platform under construction.
