Pomona–North station is a railroad station located in Pomona, California. It is located just west of Garey Avenue and south of Bonita Avenue, and has 225 free parking spaces which are accessible from either Santa Fe Street or Fulton Road. Formerly an intercity train station, it is served by the Metrolink commuter rail system. The extension of the Los Angeles Metro Rail A Line light rail line to Pomona-North is projected to open in 2025.
Foothill Transit provides connecting service on Garey Avenue, with stops at Garey and Bonita Avenue for Lines 291 and 492, and stops at Garey Avenue and Arrow Highway for Lines 197 and 291, both approximately NaNmiles from the station. Both bus and rail service are available 7 days a week.
Pomona–North station is owned by the City of Pomona. A freight line (ex-AT&SF Pasadena Subdivision) runs along the north side of the station. The old AT&SF station lies to the east of the station, on the northwest corner of Santa Fe and Garey Avenue.
Pomona–North station serves Metrolink's San Bernardino Line crossing the northern part of the city. A separate station called Pomona–Downtown station is located Downtown a few miles/kilometers to the south and also near Garey Avenue, is an Amtrak station that also serves Metrolink trains on the Riverside Line.
Metrolink's operations center is located near the station.[2]
This site was the home to the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley Railroad station opened in 1887. At the time, there was debate as to call the station "North Pomona," "Palomares," or "Palermo station."
AT&SF operated intercity trains from Pomona, including the Super Chief and Chief. Between 1914 and 1941, Pacific Electric interurban trains on the Upland–San Bernardino Line stopped at Fulton Road. When Amtrak took over intercity train operations in 1971, Pomona was maintained as a stop on the Super Chief.[3] Metrolink service to Pomona began on October26, 1992 as an inaugural station of the commuter rail system.[4] Intercity service ceased after January20, 1994 when the Southwest Chief was rerouted via the San Bernardino Subdivision.[5]
By early-January 2025, L.A. Metro's A Line is planned to also serve this station when it is extended east from its current northeastern terminus at APU/Citrus College station.[6]
