History
editThe station is at the junction of several rail lines. The Green Line utilizes a segment of the former Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad.[5] The Cotton Belt and Burlington Northern Santa Fe lines also crossed here.
The former 1924-built Carrollton Missouri–Kansas–Texas Depot was moved 300 feet (91 m) to accommodate the new light rail line.[5] The DART station opened as part of the Green Line's expansion on December 6, 2010.[1]
