The station will be at the north end of the town of Apple Valley adjacent to Interstate 15 at Dale Evans Parkway. Passenger platforms will be in the median of I-15 and accessed via walkway under the northbound lanes of the highway. Construction permits were acquired in March 2020 by Brightline, construction was expected to begin in the second half of 2021, and the station is expected to open in the second half of 2024. The area will include a maintenance facility. Victor Valley is the planned terminus of the initial phase 1 route with planned extensions to Rancho Cucamonga and a proposed extension to Los Angeles Union Station. The site also sits near existing freight rail tracks with existing Amtrak Southwest Chief services to Chicago and Los Angeles and future connections are possible with the location of both sites.
