Metrolink is a regional commuter rail system serving Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, as well as northern San Diego county. Metrolink is built and administered by the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), a joint-powers board made up of representatives from the MTA (LA County), OCTA (Orange County), Riverside County Transportation Commission, Ventura County Transportation Commission and the San Bernardino Association of Governments. The trains run on existing right-of-way used by freight and passenger trains. Amtrak has been contracted to provide engineers and conductors for train service.
The Acton Metrolink Station at Vincent Grade is located on Sierra Highway between Soledad Canyon Rd. and Angeles Forest Hwy.
The original Vincent Grade / Acton Station was constructed after the 1994 Northridge earthquake to serve commuters. Many non-commuters now enjoy a ride on the “rails” to the entertainment centers in downtown Los Angeles.
Security for Metrolink is provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. All stations feature Park & Ride facilities, which are patrolled regularly. Call Box phones are provided at all stations to assist passengers with emergencies or car problems.
