Ontario station is an Amtrak train station in Ontario, California, located on the Union Pacific Railroad Alhambra Subdivision. It is served by the thrice-weekly Sunset Limited/Texas Eagle. The station has a covered, open-air pavilion built by the city in 1991.[2]
Of the 73 California stations served by Amtrak, Ontario was the 70th-busiest in fiscal year 2019, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 11 passengers daily (though the station does not receive daily service).[1]
The Omnitrans Route 61 bus operates daily between this station and Pomona–Downtown station, Ontario International Airport, and Fontana station.[3]
The Amtrak Thruway #19 stops here twice daily, providing service between San Bernardino and Bakersfield, and points in between.[4]
History
Ontario was initially a flag stop on the Southern Pacific Sunset Route.[5]
Local streetcar service was provided nearby at the corner of Euclid and Emporia by the Ontario and San Antonio Heights Railroad Company by 1897.[6] The line was acquired by Pacific Electric in 1912, which continued to operate here until 1928.[7][8]
