The E Line was built on the path of the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad which transported [[people]] and [[freight]] west from [[Los Angeles]] to Santa Monica since 1875. [[Passenger]] service stopped in 1953, and freight service stopped in 1988. This happened since less people were taking transit as [[cars]] became more popular.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Morgenthaler|first=Anne|date=March 14, 1988|title=End of the Line: The last train out of SM blows a final whistle|work=Santa Monica Outlook}}</ref>

A group called Friends 4 Expo Transit convinced Los Angeles Metro to buy the [[land]] of the old train route to build a new light rail line. Metro listened and later released a Major Investment Study in 2000 to compare [[bus]] and light rail transit options. Metro eventually decided to build a light rail line along that corridor.

The project was built in two phases by the Exposition Metro Line Construction Authority. The first phase went from Downtown Los Angeles to [[Culver City, California|Culver City]], and it started [[construction]] in 2006.<ref name="Expo-fact-sheet">{{Cite web|year=2012|title=Expo Line project fact sheet|url=http://www.buildexpo.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Expo-One-Sheet-January-2013.pdf|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130708125744/http://www.buildexpo.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Expo-One-Sheet-January-2013.pdf|archive-date=July 8, 2013|access-date=October 6, 2013|publisher=Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority}}</ref> The second phase went from Culver City to Santa Monica.

Division 21 is located in Chinatown between Elysian Park and the [[Los Angeles River]].

The E Line, named the Expo Line before 2019, is one of the six light rail lines that are part of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. The E Line has 29 light rail stations going from Santa Monica to East Los Angeles. The E Line's first stations from Downtown Los Angeles to the Westside opened in 2012.[2] In 2023, the Regional Connector tunnel expanded the line east from Downtown Los Angeles to East Los Angeles. It was the line's latest expansion.[3]  

History

The E Line's first 10 stations opened in April 2012

The E Line was built on the path of the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad which transported people and freight west from Los Angeles to Santa Monica since 1875. Passenger service stopped in 1953, and freight service stopped in 1988. This happened since less people were taking transit as cars became more popular.[4]

A group called Friends 4 Expo Transit convinced Los Angeles Metro to buy the land of the old train route to build a new light rail line. Metro listened and later released a Major Investment Study in 2000 to compare bus and light rail transit options. Metro eventually decided to build a light rail line along that corridor.

The project was built in two phases by the Exposition Metro Line Construction Authority. The first phase went from Downtown Los Angeles to Culver City, and it started construction in 2006.[5] The second phase went from Culver City to Santa Monica. That phase started construction in 2012. The light rail line later became known as the Expo Line.

The first 10 stations of the Expo Line from 7th Street/Metro Center to La Cienega/Jefferson station opened on April 18, 2012. On June 20, 2012, two more stations opened, expanding the line to Culver City.[6] On May 20, 2016, the second phase was completed, adding 7 stations west to Downtown Santa Monica.[7] The line was renamed the E Line in late 2019.[8]

The E Line continued to expand with another project called the Regional Connector tunnel which opened on June 16, 2023.[9] It added 2 new underground stations in Downtown LA and extended the E Line to East Los Angeles using track and seven stations from the L Line. When this happened, the L Line stopped operating.[10] The E Line is planning to get another eastern expansion with the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2, which will extend the line from East Los Angeles to Whittier.[11]

Operations

Service

The E Line begins service at 4:30 a.m. and ends around 12:45 a.m. each night. During the day, trains on the weekdays are scheduled to come every 8-10 minutes. Trains on the weekends are scheduled to come every 10 minutes. In the early mornings and late nights, trains are scheduled to come every 20 minutes.[12]

A Kinki Sharyo P310 train at one of Metro's train divisions.

Rolling stock

The rolling stock (trains) used on the E Line are called the Kinki Sharyo P3010. Metro operates those trains with three cars on weekdays and two on weekends, except for weekend days with big city events. The E Line is operated out of two divisions, Metro’s name for train maintenance and storage facilities.[13]

Division 14 is located right next to the line in Santa Monica. The facility opened in 2016 with the completion of the Expo Line Phase 2.[14]

Division 21 is located in Chinatown between Elysian Park and the Los Angeles River. To access it, trains need to travel on the A Line tracks from Little Tokyo/Arts District station to after Chinatown station. The division was originally opened in 2003 for the A Line but is not used by A Line trains anymore.

Stations

The E Line serves 29 stations from Downtown Santa Monica to Atlantic station. Most of those stations are above ground, however six of them are underground. The E Line shares the same station platform with the A Line at five stations in Downtown Los Angeles. The following table is the complete list of stations, from west to east:
