Chatsworth station (also known as Chatsworth Transportation Center) is an intermodal passenger transport station in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Chatsworth, United States. It is served by Amtrak Pacific Surfliner inter-city rail service, Metrolink Ventura County Line commuter rail service, and the Metro G Line of the Los Angeles Metro Busway bus rapid transit. The station is also served by Los Angeles Metro Bus and Simi Valley Transit local buses, plus Santa Clarita Transit and LADOT Commuter Express regional express bus routes.
The Southern Pacific Railroad (SP) opened its first Chatsworth station in 1893; SP service ended in the 1950s. CalTrain service from 1982 to 1983, and Amtrak service beginning in 1988, used a station located 1.2 miles (1.9 km) to the southeast. Metrolink service began in 1992 with a station near the former SP station site; Amtrak service soon moved there. A station building was completed in 1996, and bus rapid transit service began in 2012.




History



The Southern Pacific Railroad (SP) opened a 22-mile (35 km) branch line from Burbank to Chatsworth in 1893. The SP extended the branch westward in 1904, eventually forming the Coast Line. The 1893-built station was a typical style: a two-story wooden depot with a longer one-story freight house. It was replaced with a similar larger station in 1910, though was left standing. The original depot burned down in 1917; the newer station was demolished in 1962.
An infill station opened in Chatsworth on the short-lived CalTrain line on December 29, 1982, only to close when service ended on March 2, 1983. On June 26, 1988, Amtrak extended one San Diegan round trip to Santa Barbara, with the ex-CalTrain stop at Chatsworth reused as an intermediate stop. The stop was located just east of DeSoto Avenue, 1.2 miles (1.9 km) southeast of the former SP station site.
On October 26, 1992, Metrolink Ventura County Line service began. The Metrolink station – a bare platform with small shelters – was located near the original station site. Amtrak moved its operations to the Metrolink station by mid-1993. The Chatsworth Transportation Center, opened in 1996, was designed to echo the appearance of the 1893-built station. The 220-foot (67 m)-long structure cost $1.7 million. The station originally had only a single side platform on the east (main) track; a second platform on the west (siding) track was later added.
On June 30, 2012, LA Metro opened a 4-mile (6.4 km) extension of the Orange Line (now the G Line) busway, with Chatsworth as the northern terminus.
