List of Dallas Area Rapid Transit rail stations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DART Light Rail is a light rail mass transit system operated by Dallas Area Rapid Transit, serving portions of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Texas, United States. The network consists of sixty-five stations on four lines: Blue Line, Green Line, Orange Line and Red Line.

All but one of the stations along the DART Light Rail network are open-air structures featuring passenger canopies for protection from adverse weather conditions.[1] Stations featuring side platforms typically have dimensions of 300 feet (91 m) long by 17 feet (5.2 m) wide while stations having an island platform typically have dimensions of 300 feet (91 m) long by 28 feet (8.5 m) wide.[1] The lone underground station is Cityplace.[2] All stations include works of public art as part of the DART Station Art & Design Program.[3] These works include independent works or as pieces incorporated into the canopies, columns, pavers, windscreens, fencing and landscaping present at all stations.[3]

Deferred and ghost stations[]

Several stations proposed for the DART Light Rail network are classified as deferred. As defined by DART, a deferred station is one that has been identified, but will not be constructed until land use changes warrant the construction of a station.[22] In addition to the deferred stations, the network also features a single ghost station, the Knox–Henderson Station. The underground station was excavated at the time of the original construction of the Red and Blue Lines, only to have plans subsequently scrapped due to neighborhood opposition.[23]
