Utah Transit Authority (UTA):
American Fork is a commuter rail station in American Fork, Utah, United States served by the FrontRunner, Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) commuter rail train that operates along the Wasatch Front with service from Pleasant View in northern Weber County through Ogden, Davis County, Salt Lake City, and Salt Lake County to Provo in central Utah County. It is part of the FrontRunner South extension.
The station is located at 782 West 200 South and is fairly easily accessed from I-15 by way of the Pioneer Crossing (SR-145/American Fork Main Street) interchange. To reach the station, head west from I-15 on Pioneer Crossing to the first traffic light, then turn left (south) onto South Mill Pond Road (850 East in Lehi) and then right (east) onto 200 South (also signed at this intersection as 7750 North). The station has a free Park and Ride lot with over 550 parking spaces available. Although a large retail development is located to the north, just across I-15 from the station, there is no direct pedestrian access to the shopping center and there are currently no other commercial developments in close proximity either. The station is located within the Quiet Zone, so trains do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor. The station opened, along with the rest of the FrontRunner South, on 10 December 2012 and is operated by Utah Transit Authority.
