Chatsworth Amtrak Station Layout Map

Baggage & Luggage Rules
Chatsworth Station (CWT) does not handle checked baggage, since Amtrak keeps no staff or baggage room at the stop. Luggage therefore travels as carry-on. Passengers transferring between Amtrak, Metrolink and the G Line move their own bags between platforms, so hand luggage is the practical limit here.
Food, Lounges & Restrooms
No Amtrak lounge or station restaurant operates at Chatsworth. The platform shelters provide cover while waiting, and food and drink come from the surrounding neighborhood. Because the G Line runs 24 hours a day while Amtrak service does not, the site is busier through the night than its Amtrak facilities suggest.
How to Reach the CWT Station
Old Depot Plaza Road connects the station to the local street network in the northwest Valley. Bus connections are unusually wide for a suburban stop: Metro routes 150, 158, 167 and 244, LADOT Commuter Express 419, Santa Clarita Transit route 791, Simi Valley Transit route 10, and the Metro G Line, whose northern terminus is here. The 816-space lot serves drivers.
Nearby Airports
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the region’s main airport and the usual choice for long-distance flights. Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) sits considerably closer to the San Fernando Valley, however, and Metrolink Ventura County Line trains from this same station reach Burbank Airport-South, which makes it the easier of the two to reach from Chatsworth without a car.
Hotels Near Chatsworth Amtrak Station
No verified list of hotels at the station exists here, and Amtrak neither operates nor endorses accommodation. Lodging in the northwest San Fernando Valley stands along the main boulevards and freeway corridors rather than at the transportation center.
Chatsworth Amtrak Station is one stop on the Pacific Surfliner, but the site around it is a full interchange with Metrolink trains and the 24-hour G Line busway. Since Amtrak keeps no staff here, advance tickets and carry-on luggage are what the stop requires, and the connections are what make it worth using.
