Downtown Carrollton station is a DART light rail station in Carrollton, Texas. It serves the DART Green Line.[2] This station will serve as an inaugural stop on the Silver Line,[3][4] as well as the new terminus for DCTA's A-train.[5]

History

[edit]

The station is at the junction of several rail lines. The Green Line utilizes a segment of the former Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad.[6] The Cotton Belt and Burlington Northern Santa Fe lines also crossed here.

The former 1924-built Carrollton Missouri–Kansas–Texas Depot was moved 300 feet (91 m) to accommodate the new light rail line.[6] The DART station opened as part of the Green Line's expansion on December 6, 2010.[1]
