A separate station called Pomona station (informally called "Downtown Pomona station", is located Downtown a few miles/kilometers to the south and also near Garey Avenue, is an Amtrak station that also serves Metrolink trains on the Riverside Line.

Pomona–North station is served by 34 Metrolink San Bernardino Line trains (17 in each direction) each weekday running primarily at peak hours in the peak direction of travel. Weekend service consists of 16 trains (8 in each direction) on both Saturday and Sunday evenly spaced throughout the day.[5]

By summer 2025, L.A. Metro's A Line is planned to also serve this station when it is extended east from its current northeastern terminus at APU/Citrus College station.[6]

Pomona–North station is owned by the City of Pomona. A freight line (ex-AT&SF Pasadena Subdivision) runs along the north side of the station. The old AT&SF station lies to the east of the station, on the northwest corner of Santa Fe and Garey Avenue. Foothill Transit provides connecting service on Garey Avenue, with stops at Garey and Bonita Avenue for Lines 291 and 492, and stops at Garey Avenue and Arrow Highway for Lines 197 and 291, both approximately a half mile (800 meters) from the station. Both bus and rail service are available 7 days a week.

This site was the home to the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley Railroad station opened in 1887. In 1887, there was debate as to call the station "North Pomona," "Palomares," or "Palermo station."

Metrolink's operations center is located near the station.[7]
