Victory Station

Victory Station is a Trinity Railway Express commuter rail station located in Dallas, Texas just outside of the American Airlines Center, northwest of downtown Dallas. It opened in 2001 as a temporary platform shortly after the opening of the American Airlines Center and is a station on the TRE commuter rail line (Green Line), serving the American Airlines Center only on dates when there are events. The station's location was the subject of much debate during the planning and construction of the American Airlines Center. DART originally wanted to extend light rail service up Houston Street, with a station between the proposed center and nearby upscale residential and office areas. But the Dallas City Council, backed by developer Tom Hicks and his Victory development partners, forced DART to locate Victory Station on the other side of the center, near the existing freight rail line and Interstate 35E. On October 2, 2003, the temporary platform was replaced by a permanent platform for the Trinity Railway Express and a future expansion of DART's light rail system (the future Orange and Purple Lines). Beginning on November 13, 2004, DART began offering special light rail service on the Red and Blue lines to Victory Station during special events. Red and Blue line light rail trains serving Victory Station display "DART" in their destination signs.
