Moorpark station is served by ten Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains (five in each direction) every day, with departures evenly spaced throughout the day.[6] Sixteen Metrolink Ventura County Line trains (eight in each direction) serve the station each weekday, running during peak hours in the peak direction of travel. On weekends, four Metrolink Ventura County Line trains (two in each direction) serve the station. Metrolink passengers also have access to all Pacific Surfliner trains through a codesharing arrangement with Amtrak.[7]
Moorpark served as the Ventura County Line's terminal until service was extended to Oxnard after the Northridge earthquake in 1994, and now acts as the western terminus of the Ventura County Line except during peak hours in the peak direction of travel. Metrolink stores trains in a small yard a short distance west of the station.[8]
In FY2018, boarding or detraining Amtrak passengers averaged approximately 50 passengers daily.[9]
The original Moorpark station was constructed at 18 E. High Street by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1900. The first station was destroyed by fire in 1909 and was rebuilt in 1910. It remained in service until the late 1950s and was demolished in 1964. The former station site is now occupied by the Moorpark Chamber of Commerce.[10]
