History

The city of Irving was originally constructed along a rail corridor served by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad. The historic Rock Island depot site was later rebuilt into South Irving Transit Center.

Trinity Railway Express service to the transit center started on December 30, 1996.[2] South Irving was the western terminus of the TRE until West Irving station opened in 2000.[4]

In 2012, the city of Irving requested that South Irving station be renamed to emphasize the Heritage Crossing district.[5] The change was applied on July 30 of that year, the same date that the Orange Line was extended to northern Irving.[6]
