Encyclopedia
Oakland City is an elevated Rail station on the Red
and Gold
lines of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority
(MARTA) rail system. It has one island platform between two tracks. It was opened on December 15, 1984. For both entrances to this station, you have to go through the fare gates and an underground passageway to go up to the platform. On the Lee St. entrance (on the west side of station), you go through fare gates, then the passageway goes under the street. From the other side, the passageway goes under the street and freight line tracks. It is located on the border of the Oakland City
and Capitol View neighborhoods in Atlanta. It has an at grade style though its nature is elevated, similar to many of those stations on the East-West line.
Like the West End Station, it also serves many neighborhoods in Southwest Atlanta, including those on Campbellton Road, Sylvan Road & Dill Ave. It provides connecting bus service to Atlanta Christian College, Barge Road Park n' Ride, and Greenbriar Mall.
