It has an island platform in the center median of Long Beach Avenue near the intersection of Vernon Avenue in South Los Angeles, a one-quarter mile (0.4 km) from the border with Vernon.
Prior to the construction of the A Line, Vernon Avenue was an important junction on the lines of the Pacific Electric Railway. All lines from the Southern District, including the Long Beach, Watts, Whittier and San Pedro lines, stopped at Vernon Avenue, which was also a crossing with the Los Angeles Railway's V line.[2]
