Location

Vincent Grade/Acton station[3] is a Metrolink rail station just north of the community of Acton, California. It is served by Metrolink's Antelope Valley Line from Los Angeles Union Station to Lancaster.

17 Metrolink trains serve the station each weekday while 12 serve the station on Saturday and Sundays. Weekday Metrolink service runs primarily at peak hours in the peak direction of travel while weekend departures and arrivals are fairly evenly spaced throughout the day.

This station predominantly serves residents of southern and eastern Palmdale, and its southern and eastern suburbs due to the station's closer proximity to these areas than the Palmdale Transportation Center downtown.
