Los Angeles - Metrolink's San Bernardino Line trains will make special stops at the LA County Fairon Saturdays and Sundays beginning this Saturday, May 7 through Sunday, May 29.

All San Bernardino Line Saturday and Sunday trains will make the special stop except for early morning trains 351, 352, and 353, which operate prior to the Fair opening. No special stops will be made on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30. The Fairplex platform is located between the Pomona-North and the Covina stations.
