History

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. Metrolink service to Pomona began on October26, 1992 as an inaugural station of the commuter rail system. Intercity service ceased after January20, 1994 when the Southwest Chief was rerouted via the San Bernardino Subdivision.
As the fourth station on the Foothill Extension Phase 2B to Pomona project, the A Line platform was officially dedicated with a ceremony on June 20, 2025, featuring regional politicians and a celebration for the general public. It opened on September 19, 2025. As part of the A Line extension, an additional 300 spaces were added to a lot, south of the Metrolink tracks, where Line 291 buses pull in to drop off passengers bound for the station. A parking charge of $3 was imposed on weekdays commensurate with the opening.
