Location

Norwalk station is a below-grade light rail station on the C Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located in the median of Interstate 105 (Century Freeway), below Interstate 605 (San Gabriel River Freeway) in the city of Norwalk, California, after which the station is named. It is currently the eastern terminus of the C Line.

The original name for the station was I-605/I-105 for its location but was later changed to Norwalk.

This station serves as a major transfer point in the Metro system. Across the bridge from the station, Metro Express route 460 offers service to the Disneyland Resort and Knott's Berry Farm in Orange County, Express route 577 provides service to both El Monte Station and California State University, Long Beach.

One of the major criticisms of the C Line is that it doesn't extend to Metrolink's Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs station, located 2.8 miles (4.5 km) to the east. The gap creates a major inconvenience for anyone wanting to take rail transit between Orange County or the Inland Empire and western Los Angeles County. Norwalk Transit route 4 connects the two stations, but the trip takes 15 to 25 minutes, and travel times can be longer because of connection times between buses or traffic.^[3] Originally, the Century Freeway was to start at Interstate 5, but a lawsuit from the City of Norwalk prevented the construction of this right of way.

Parking is $3 per day.
