Passenger Trains > Vincent Grade/Acton, CA Metrolink Station

I finally had a chance to visit the new second platform at the Vincent Grade/Acton Station, which is a Metrolink stop on the Lancaster-Los Angeles Antelope Valley Line.

Photo 1 shows Los Angeles-bound Train 220 arriving; the new platform and one of three new shelters are in the background
Photo 2 is taken in one of the new shelters looking back towards the original platform
Photo 3 shows the new at-grade crossing that connects the two platforms.

The project not only added the second platform, but straightened the siding track adjacent to the new platform,extended the siding railroad-east (towards Los Angeles) and added a new crossover.

These photos were taken on Friday, December 2, which was a very windy, cold day.
