The Redland-Downtown station is served by the Arrow (rail service) and the Metrolink on the San Bernardino Line.
Arrow trains run every day between approximately between 5:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. Trains arrive every 30 minutes in the early morning and evening and every 60 minutes from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. On weekends, trains run between 7:30 a.m. and 10 p.m., arriving every 60 minutes, except for a few hours without trains in the morning and afternoon.[6] Redlands–Downtown is also served by one round-trip Metrolink weekday express train on the San Bernardino Line, with a western terminus of Los Angeles' Union Station.[6]
Although they share a single track through the station, because Metrolink's cars have a different loading height than the Arrow vehicles, they board from different platforms. Metrolink trains board from a platform on the north side of the track, adjacent to the parking garage. Arrow trains board from a platform on the south side of the track at the historic Santa Fe Depot.[6]
A four-level, 384-space parking structure was built north of the depot and opened in the summer of 2022 to replace the Redlands Mall parking lot that will be demolished.[7]
The station is adjacent to the Redlands Santa Fe Railroad Depot, which is the centerpiece of the historic Redlands Santa Fe Depot District. The original depot was opened by the railroad in 1888, but it was rebuilt at the urging of the city with the current station opened to passenger service by April 1910.[8] The Red Car trolleys of the Pacific Electric Railway ran adjacent to the station on Orange Avenue until 1936.[9] Mainline passenger service ended in 1938.[8]
The building's owner refurbished the structure in 2021 in anticipation of revived service.[10] Arrow trains do not directly utilize the old building, but new platforms and facilities were installed track side.
