In the late 1990s, the first master plan for TRAX included plans for a station at 600 South. When the rails were first laid, planners left enough room for the eventual station. Construction began in August 2021 with plans to be completed in early 2022.The 600 South station is the first TRAX station built since the extensions of the Blue and Green lines in 2013.
In UTA’s plan to reroute the Red Line east from Ballpark to serve the Granary District, there exists a proposed station also with the name ‘600 South.’ However, the proposed station would be located on 400 West, while the current 600 South is on Main Street.
