Location

El Segundo station is an elevated light rail station on the C Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located over El Segundo Boulevard, after which the station is named, near its intersection with Nash Street in El Segundo, California. It opened with the commencement of Green Line service on August 12, 1995.^[4]

The station was initially named El Segundo Blvd/Nash St but was later simplified to El Segundo in 2003.^[5]^[6]

Under current Metro plans, the C and K Lines will be restructured by the end of 2024; El Segundo station will be served by the K Line, while the C Line will be rerouted to terminate at the future LAX/Metro Transit Center station.^[7]

The station sits on the northeastern corner of the Raytheon Intelligence & Space campus. It is also close to the Los Angeles Air Force Base, The Aerospace Corporation campus, and the future training facility for the Los Angeles Chargers.

The train platform, currently suitable for two-car trains, is planned to be lengthened by 2028 to accommodate longer three-car trains.^[8]^[9]
