History
The City of Industry station opened on June 14, 1993, and built at a cost of $2.4 million as one of the original 5 stations on the line.[7] In 1994, the Riverside line had Metrolink's highest ridership per week, averaging 2,000 passengers.[8] A second platform facing North was originally constructed to serve the opposite side of the tracks but was mostly removed sometime around 2007. In 2012, 8,000 solar panels were installed to cover 940 parking spaces in an $11 million project that generates 2.2 megawatts (3,000 hp) of electricity per hour.[9] The project also included the installation of 64 electric car charging stations.[10] Most of the funding came from Proposition 1A, although the South Coast Air Quality Management District also provided a $2 million grant.[10]
