Location

Bellflower station is a planned light rail station in the Los Angeles Metro Rail system.^[1] It is part of the Southeast Gateway Line project. The segment of the corridor is expected to begin operations in 2035.^[2]

The station is located across Bellflower Boulevard from the former Pacific Electric West Santa Ana Branch depot.^[3]

The depot site was established in 1905 with the commencement of service along the Santa Ana Branch. Early maps use the former name of the town for the stop: Somerset. A new expanded station was built in 1927.^[4] Bellflower became the southeast terminus of the line after 1950 as service was cut back from Santa Ana.^[5] Passenger service ceased after May 24, 1958.^[6]

The station building was restored in 2008 by the city of Bellflower.^[7] It reverted to the original 1927 facade which features distinctive columns.^[8]
