Sonoma–Marin Area Rail Transit, or SMART, is a commuter rail service in California's Sonoma and Marin counties. The line serves ten stations in the initial operating segment (IOS), with six more planned to open after further construction.[1]
The main line was built primarily by the Northwestern Pacific Railroad and received regular service until 1958 when passenger trains were discontinued south of Willits. After the decline in railway traffic in the post-WWII years, the line was eventually closed to all rail activity. The right-of-way was acquired by a special-purpose district and reopened to freight movements in 2011 and passenger service on August 25, 2017.[2]
All stations have high-level platforms for accessible boarding. San Rafael and Santa Rosa stations are located adjacent to former NWP station buildings (as will be Novato Downtown, Healdsburg, and Windsor), but the former depots are used for other purposes.
