History
The site originally was home to several Southern Pacific railroad stations; the last had been demolished by Southern Pacific in 1962.[4] The station opened as an infill station on the short-lived CalTrain line on December 29, 1982, only to close just over two months later. The current station building was constructed in 1996. A station platform has existed since 1992.

On September 12, 2008, a westbound Metrolink Ventura County Line train was involved in the 2008 Chatsworth train collision after it had departed this station. It collided head-on with a Union Pacific freight train in Chatsworth.[5]
