Pleasant View station

The station is located at 2700 North US Highway 89 (US-89) and can be easily accessed from either 2700 North or US-89. There are about 300 parking spaces in its free Park and Ride lot. The station is located within the Quiet Zone, so trains do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor.[4]

Prior to truncation, the FrontRunner provided limited service to and from Pleasant View Station. While nearly all trains originated or terminated in Ogden each weekday there was service to Pleasant View with two trains picking up passengers in the morning and two more dropping off and picking up passengers in the evening for the commute.[5][6]

To supplement this service there is also a UTA bus route that provides more frequent service to Ogden Intermodal Transit Center. The UTA bus connection runs hourly for the morning and evening commute, with no mid-day service.[7]

One major reason for limited operation at this station is that the FrontRunner trains must share trackage with Union Pacific Railroad freights. Between Ogden and Provo, the FrontRunner has its own dedicated trackage separate from (but parallel to) the Union Pacific tracks.[8] UTA originally planned to open the station along with the rest of the original start of the FrontRunner service in April 2008, but necessary improvements to the shared stretch of track owned by Union Pacific were delayed when railroad workers were diverted to repair tracks damaged by a landslide near Oakridge, Oregon.[9] The station finally opened for service on September 29, 2008. Originally, only two trains serviced each weekday for the morning and evening commutes. However, service was eventually increased to six trains daily before the FrontRunner service was temporarily discontinued on September 6, 2011.[10] Limited service was restored on December 10, 2012 and cancelled in 2018.
