Description

The station is located at 1250 South State Street (SR-126) on approximately 73 acres of land[4] and has easy access from I-15 by either 700 South (SR-193) or West Antelope Drive (SR-108). It is located between the Freeport Center and I-15 and south-west of Hill Air Force Base, 2.75 miles (4.43 km) west of the South Gate.[4][5] It was anticipated to provide commuter service to the approximately 22,600 employees at Hill Air Force Base and the approximately 8,500 employees at the Freeport Center.[4][6] The station is also within walking distance of the Clearfield City offices, North Davis Junior High School, and Clearfield High School.[5]

The station has a free Park and Ride lot with about 560 parking spaces available.[2] The station is located within the Quiet Zone, so trains do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor.[7] The inaugural FrontRunner train departed the station southbound at 9:00 am April 26, 2008.[3] The station is operated by Utah Transit Authority.
