History

Southwest Limited at Pomona station, November 11, 1979

This site was the home to the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley Railroad station opened in 1887. At the time, there was debate as to call the station North Pomona, Palomares, or Palermo.

AT&SF operated intercity trains from Pomona, including the Super Chief and Chief. Between 1914 and 1941, Pacific Electric interurban trains on the Upland–San Bernardino Line stopped at Fulton Road. When Amtrak took over intercity train operations in 1971, Pomona was maintained as a stop on the Super Chief.[6] Metrolink service to Pomona began on October 26, 1992 as an inaugural station of the commuter rail system.[7] Intercity service ceased after January 20, 1994 when the Southwest Chief was rerouted via the San Bernardino Subdivision.[8]

On September 19, 2025, Los Angeles Metro's A Line is planned to also serve this station when it is extended east from its current northeastern terminus at APU/Citrus College station.[9][10]
