Santee station

Santee station (also known as Santee Town Center station) is a station on the Green Line of the San Diego Trolley, in the San Diego suburb of Santee, California. The station currently serves as the Green Line's northeastern terminus and serves as a major park and ride station. It is located inside a shopping center on the northeast corner of the intersection of Mission Gorge Road and Cuyamaca Street.

History
Santee station opened on August 26, 1995, as the new terminus of the East Line (renamed the Orange Line in 1997), marking the fourth segment to open on the line. In 2005, the Orange Line was truncated to (and later ) and service to Santee was replaced by the Green Line. The truncation was originally due to the fact that the path between Gillespie Field and Santee Town Center is single tracked, and having two lines running on that route would cause operational issues.

Until September 2005, Santee city law prohibited rail service after 9:00 p.m., meaning that most evening service terminated at El Cajon. The law was lifted in September 2005, soon after the Green Line began operation to Santee.

Station layout
There are two tracks, each served by a side platform. Trains usually board and alight passengers from the western platform.
