College Park is a train station in College Park, Georgia, serving the Red and Gold lines of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail system.[2] It opened on June 18, 1988. This station mainly serves College Park and surrounding areas, including Morrow, Riverdale, Clayton County, and South Fulton.
An interesting feature of this station is that the platform is narrower at the north end and wider at the south end, presumably to allow room for the yard leads just south of the station. The narrowing of the platform is most apparent at the north end of the platform.
In 2013, College Station had 9,026 average weekday entries, passing up Lindbergh Center to become the third busiest station, only behind the Airport and Five Points Stations.[3]
