Location

Vernon station is an at-grade light rail station on the A Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. The station is located in the center median of Long Beach Avenue (the historic route of the Pacific Electric Railway, and shared with the Union Pacific freight railroad's Wilmington Subdivision) at its intersection with Vernon Avenue, in South Los Angeles, one-quarter mile (0.4 km) from the border with Vernon, California.[2]

Prior to the construction of the A Line, Vernon Avenue was an important junction on the lines of the Pacific Electric. All lines from the Southern District, including the Long Beach, Watts, Whittier and San Pedro lines, stopped at Vernon Avenue, which was also a crossing with the Los Angeles Railway's V line.[3]
