American Fork is a station in American Fork, Utah, United States served by FrontRunner, Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) 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. It is part of the FrontRunner South extension.

The Station is located at 782 West 200 South and is fairly easily accessed from I-15 by way of the Pioneer Crossing (SR-145/American Fork Main Street) interchange. To reach the station, head west from I-15 on Pioneer Crossing to the first traffic light, then turn left (south) onto South Mill Pond Road (850 East in Lehi) and then right (east) onto 200 South (also signed at this intersection as 7750 North). The Station has a free Park and Ride lot with over 550 parking spaces available.[2] Although a large retail developement is located to the north, just across I-15 from the Station, there is no direct pedistrian access to the shopping center and there are currently no other commercial developement in close proximity either. The Station is located within the Quiet Zone, so trains do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor.[4]

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.[5]
