context_page_description: FrontRunner is a commuter rail train operated by the Utah Transit Authority that operates along the Wasatch Front in north-central Utah with service from Ogden in central Weber County through Davis County, Salt Lake City, and Salt Lake County to Provo in central Utah County.
context_section_description: FrontRunner's current southern terminus is in the city of Provo, with the southernmost station being Provo. Although the official address of this station is 690 South University Avenue (US-189), it is actually located between 200 West and South University Avenue on the south side of the FrontRunner and Union Pacific railroad tracks which run immediately south of 600 South. This station is also just southwest of Amtrak's Provo Station, which is the third stop, after Green River and Helper for the California Zephyr. (Although this station is the southern terminus, the FrontRunner tracks continue east for almost a half a mile.) Heading west from this station, FrontRunner crosses 200 West (Freedom Boulevard), 500 West, and 700 West before it curves toward the north.  After crossing 900 West at 500 South it heads northwest until it crosses under West Center Street (SR-114) just east of the I-15/Center Street interchange. It then crosses Draper Lane before crossing over the Provo River Parkway trail and the Provo River. Continuing northwest it crosses 820 North at 1950 West and then crosses under the "S curve" of I-15. Running along the west side of I-15 it crosses 1680 North at 2550 West, 2800 West just south of 2000 North, and 2000 North (Provo grid) /2000 South (Orem grid) just west of 2800 West. At 2000 North, FrontRunner leaves Provo and briefly enters unincorporated Utah County.
  Continuing northwest, FrontRunner leaves unincorporated Utah County and enters the city of Orem at 1550 South before crossing under West University Parkway (SR-265) immediately west of the I-15/University Parkway interchange. At 900 South 1350 West it reaches the next station, Orem. This station is located on the west side of I-15 from most of the Utah Valley University campus. In June 2018, UTA, UVU, UDOT, Orem City, and MAG broke-ground on a new "first-of-its-kind" 1000-foot pedestrian bridge over Interstate-15 that will connect UVU's Main Campus to the Orem Intermodal Transit Center. With an estimated completion date of Fall 2020, the primarily UDOT funded project will connect Utah's largest university of 40,000 students directly to the Orem FrontRunner Station. The Utah Valley Express (UVX) bus line also connects the Provo and Orem FrontRunner stations. From this station (while I-15 heads directly north) FrontRunner maintains its northwestern course, crossing 800 South at 1300 West and then 400 South and Geneva Road (1600 West/SR-114) in quick succession. Upon crossing Geneva Road, FrontRunner leaves Orem and enters the city of Vineyard.  Continuing northwest, with Vineyard Road briefly running on the west side of the tracks and the site of the former Geneva Steel on the east, it eventually reaches the site where the future station, Vineyard, will be built at approximately 4700 North and 3100 West. The future Vineyard Station will sit on the west edge of the new UVU Vineyard campus, neither the new station nor the new campus have ground-breaking dates announced. Heading further northwest it crosses Vineyard Road (5200 North/600 South) at 2000 West.
  Upon crossing Vineyard Road, FrontRunner leaves Vineyard, enters the city of Lindon, and briefly passes by the northeast shore of Utah Lake as it continues on its northwest course. FrontRunner then leaves Lindon and briefly enters unincorporated Utah County again before entering the city of American Fork at 1500 South and 700 East (6400 North and 5050 West on the Utah County grid). Maintaining its northwest course along the edge of American Fork's city limits, FrontRunner transitions between American Fork and unincorporated Utah County several times before it finally enters the city of Lehi. After crossing 1100 South at 425 East (5350 West on the Utah County grid), 5750 West at 7250 North (100 East at 575 South on the American Fork grid), and 100 West at 375 South, FrontRunner begins to curve toward a nearly due west course as it parallels I-15. It then crosses Storrs Avenue (about 265 West at 250 South) followed by 200 South at 390 West before reaching the next station, American Fork. The address
