The station sees about 24 Amtraks (Pacific Surfliner) and 16 Metrolinks (Inland Empire & Orange County lines) each weekday. About 4 BNSF freight trains run overnight from Barstow, CA, to San Diego. They do not pass through Fullerton, as they must use the Olive Sub 5 miles east, at Atwood Junction. The station was built in 1894 by the Santa Fe, in their typical Mission Style. This is a designated quiet zone (QZ), but crews can use the horns at their discretion anytime. The crossing seen in camera view is no longer a street, and is now pedestrian-only. There is an ATCS layout, but with little to no data (server) coverage. The camera is a 360, providing full range of motion when an operator is present. When’s the next train? Yeah, we get this a lot. You can figure out the next Amtrak passenger train with this handy, link: For Metrolink: There’s no schedule for freight trains, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available.
