Location

Willow is a station on the Overbrook branch of Pittsburgh Regional Transit's light rail network. It is located in Castle Shannon, Pennsylvania. It is a transfer point between the Red Line (serving Castle Shannon, Mt. Lebanon, Dormont, and Beechview) and the Blue and Silver Lines (serving Overbrook, Carrick, Bon Air, Bethel Park and Library). The station's name was derived from Willow Avenue, the street that runs parallel with and across the light rail. No parking is available at the site and because park and ride commuters can more conveniently reach the nearby Memorial Hall station, Willow almost exclusively serves nearby apartments and individuals switching trains.
