Description
editThe 500 East stop is located at 2234 South 500 East, just west of South 500 East.[2] The single set of tracks diverges to form a passing track at this stop, thus permitting (as planned in its schedule[3]) two cars to stop at the stop at the same time. (The two tracks continue east across 500 East before merging back to a single set.) The two side platforms are located on the far north and south sides of the tracks. There is very limited street-side parking possible nearby. The stop began service on December 8, 2013, and is operated by Utah Transit Authority.
