Murray Central is a station in Murray, Utah, United States served by the Blue and Red Lines of Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) TRAX light rail system that operates in Salt Lake County and by FrontRunner, UTA's commuter rail that operates along the Wasatch Front from Pleasant View in northern Weber County through Ogden, Davis County, Salt Lake City, and Salt Lake County to Provo in central Utah County. The FrontRunner portion of the Station is part of the FrontRunner South extension. The Station is immediately west of the Intermountain Medical Center.

The parking lot for TRAX is located at 5144 Cottonwood Street and is accessed from either East Vine Street on the north or 5300 (SR-173) at 100 West. The parking lot for FrontRunner is located at 140 East Vine Street. However, both TRAX and FrontRunner are easily accessed from either parking lot. To the east of the Station is the Intermountain Medical Center, with its large parking lot between. (The Intermoutain Medical Center was built on the site of the Murray Smelter.) The Murray Downtown Historic District is across Little Cottonwood Creek to the northeast. The Station is located within the Quiet Zone, so trains do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor.[5]

FrontRunner has about 25 round trips on weekdays between Ogden and Provo (through Salt Lake City). Trains run hourly from about 4:30 am to just after midnight on weekdays (increasing to half hour runs for the morning and evening commutes). Saturdays have hourly runs from about 6:00 am to 1:30 am the next morning. There is currently no FrontRunner service on Sundays. Each weekday there is service to Pleasant View with two trains picking up passengers in the morning and two more dropping off passengers in the evening for the commute.[6]
