Clearfield is a station in Clearfield, 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.

The Station is located at 1250 South State Street (SR-126) on approximately 73 acres of land[4] and has easy access from I-15 by either 700 South (SR-193) or West Antelope Drive (SR-108). It is located between the Freeport Center and I-15 and south-west of Hill Air Force Base, 2.75 miles (4.43 km) west of the South Gate.[5][4] It was anticipated to provide commuter service to the approximately 22,600 employees at Hill Air Force Base and the approximately 8,500 employees at the Freeport Center.[6][4] The station is also within walking distance of the Clearfield City offices, North Davis Junior High School, and Clearfield High School.[5]

The inaugural FrontRunner train departed the Station southbound at 9:00 am 26 April 2008.[3] The Station has a free Park and Ride lot with about 560 parking spaces available.[7] The Station is located within the Quiet Zone, so trains do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor.[8]

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.[9]
