Anaheim Canyon station is a Metrolink train station in Anaheim, California, United States, served by the Inland Empire–Orange County Line.[5] The station is adjacent to the Anaheim Canyon industrial and professional area.[6] It is also a stop for Orange County Transportation Authority buses.

Anaheim Canyon station is served by 14 Metrolink Inland Empire-Orange County Line trains (7 in each direction) each weekday, running primarily at peak hours in the peak direction of travel. Weekend service consists of 4 trains (2 in each direction) on both Saturday and Sunday, heading towards Orange County in the morning and towards the Inland Empire in the evening.[7]

In 2021, work began on improvements including a 3,400-foot (1,000 m) second track with a second passenger platform. The project also includes an extension of the existing passenger platform and improvements to grade crossings at nearby La Palma Avenue and North Tustin Avenue.[8] The second track and new platform were completed in 2023.[2]
