Buena Park station is a train station in Buena Park, California, United States, served by Metrolink commuter rail. It is at the center of a transit-oriented development including townhomes and a housing complex owned by the California State University, Fullerton, near the corner of Dale Street and Malvern Avenue. The station is served by Metrolink's Orange County Line and 91/Perris Valley Line.
The station has a clock tower nearly 70 feet high which echoes a clock tower at nearby Knott's Berry Farm, itself a copy of Independence Hall in Philadelphia.[1] The station includes a 300-car parking lot and a covered pedestrian overpass to allow passengers to cross the tracks.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Construction started in January 2006, and after many delays, the station opened on September 4, 2007. Construction cost $14 million.[1]
The proposed alignment for the California High-Speed Rail project would require the loss of the station or the demolition of about 25 condominiums.[2] The City of Buena Park joined other area municipalities to demand greater consultation from the High-Speed Rail Commission. In response, the California High-Speed Rail Authority agreed to study the possibility of a "shared-track alignment" between Los Angeles and Anaheim that would not require the demolition of the present station or condominiums.[3]
Amtrak(s) Pacific Surfliner and Southwest Chief passes through the station but does not stop in Buena Park.
