Slauson Station (A Line)
The station is on a long viaduct that carries the A Line over the Union Pacific freight railroad's Wilmington Subdivision and its junction with the La Habra Subdivision.
A J Line station with an identical name is located approximately 2.1 miles (3.4 km) west of the station. Passengers may use Los Angeles Metro Bus route 108 to travel between the two stations. The line will serve as a transfer between the A Line and the Southeast Gateway Line, which will open in 2035 and eventually run from Los Angeles Union Station and the Gateway Cities located in southeastern Los Angeles County.
This station will be the eastern trailhead of the Rail to Rail bike path.
History
The Slauson station was built on the site of a major junction of the Pacific Electric Railway's Southern Division, where the Whittier, Fullerton, and La Habra lines split off from the Watts, Long Beach, San Pedro, and Balboa lines. This was called Slauson Junction.
The station is also planned to be served by the proposed light rail Southeast Gateway Line, with service starting in 2035.
