The station is on a long viaduct that carries the A Line over the Union Pacific freight railroad's Wilmington Subdivision and its junction with the La Habra Subdivision.
A J Line station with an identical name is located approximately 2.1 miles (3.4 km) west of the station.[3] Passengers may use Los Angeles Metro Bus route 108 to travel between the two stations.
This station will be the eastern trailhead of the Rail-to-Rail Route bike path.[4]
History
The Slauson station was built on the site of a major junction of the Pacific Electric Railway's Southern Division, where the Whittier, Fullerton, and La Habra lines split off from the Watts, Long Beach, San Pedro, and Balboa lines. This was called Slauson Junction.
The station is also planned to be served by the proposed light rail West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor,[5] with service starting as early as 2033.[6][7]
