Route Description
Originally starting at the Delta Center (now EnergySolutions Arena) at South Temple Street and 300 West, the end of the line was extended several blocks to Salt Lake Central Station in 2008, where it connects with FrontRunner. The extension started at 250 South 600 West and proceeded north a half block to 200 South, stopping at the Old GreekTown Station. The line then proceeded to 500 West and turned north and then east, stopping at the Arena Station (next to the EnergySolutions Arena). From the extension the route followed South Temple Street, turning south to Main Street. The line diverted at 400 South, heading east and ending its sharing of track with the Sandy/Salt Lake Line. Traveling on 400 South, trains would stop at the Library Station, Tolley Station, and 900 East Station before entering the University of Utah campus. Trains turned north at University Street, and then east at South Campus Drive. The route continued on South Campus Drive to Wasatch Drive, which it turned north at. Finally, it followed Wasatch Drive to terminate at the University Medical Center.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
