Glendale Transportation Center (officially the Larry Zarian Transportation Center) is an Amtrak and Metrolink train station in the city of Glendale, California. It is served by the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner intercity rail route and the Metrolink Ventura County Line and Antelope Valley Line commuter rail routes.
Glendale Transportation Center is served by ten Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains (five in each direction) every day, with departures evenly spaced throughout the day. [4] Twenty Metrolink Ventura County Line trains (ten in each direction) serve the station each weekday, running during peak hours in the peak direction of travel. On weekends, four Metrolink Ventura County Line trains (two in each direction) serve the station. Metrolink passengers also have access to all Pacific Surfliner trains through a codesharing arrangement with Amtrak. [5]
Amtrak's Coast Starlight passes through the station, but does not stop.
Originally known as the Glendale Southern Pacific Railroad Depot, it was built by the Southern Pacific Railroad in the California Churrigueresque style of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in 1923. It had replaced the Atwater Tract Office dating from 1883. A scene from Buster Keaton's College was filmed at the station in 1927. [6]
The city bought the depot from Southern Pacific in 1989 and acquired adjacent properties to create an intermodal center. [7] Restoration of the historic building and the construction of other elements of the intermodal center cost approximately $6 million. [8]
In May 1997, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has recently[ when?] undergone an extensive renovation.[ citation needed]
Until April 25, 2005, the station was also served by Amtrak's Coast Starlight route. [9]
In November 2011, the station was dedicated to former Glendale mayor Larry Zarian. [10]
As of June 26, 2022 [update], the following connections are available: [11] [12]
The station also serves as a stop for Greyhound Lines buses, but there is no Greyhound ticketing kiosk or agent. [13]
A feasibility study for a streetcar connecting with downtown is underway. [14]
