Shiloh Road station is a future DART Silver Line commuter rail station located in Plano, Texas. The station will serve as the eastern terminus of the Silver Line when it is completed in late 2025 or early 2026.[2]

The station is located at the intersection of 14th Street and Shiloh Road in an industrial park.[3] In addition to serving the area, it is expected to serve as a park-and-ride lot for residents of eastern Plano, Murphy, and Wylie.[4] The station will be decorated with an electrical theme in reference to an nearby electrical substation.[5] The Silver Line's maintenance facility will be adjacent to the station.[6]

History[edit]

Shiloh Road station was first proposed in 2011 as part of the Cotton Belt Regional Rail Corridor.[7] In 2012, the city of Plano purchased a 6.7 acre site for the station.[8] In 2019, a groundbreaking was held for the line.[9]
