History

In the late 1990s, the first master plan for TRAX included plans for a station at 600 South.{{cite web |last1=Williams |first1=Carter |title=Will UTA's newest TRAX fill a 'missing link' in Salt Lake's expanding downtown? |url=https://www.ksl.com/article/50446559/will-utas-newest-trax-fill-a-missing-link-in-salt-lakes-expanding-downtown- |website=www.ksl.com |publisher=KSL.com |access-date=27 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220728001958if_/https://www.ksl.com/article/50446559/will-utas-newest-trax-fill-a-missing-link-in-salt-lakes-expanding-downtown- |archive-date=28 July 2022 |language=en |date=27 July 2022 |url-status=live}} When the rails were first laid, planners left enough room for the eventual station. Construction began in August 2021 with plans to be completed in early 2022.

The 600 South station is the first TRAX station built since the extensions of the Blue and Green lines in 2013.{{cite web |last1=Williams |first1=Carter |title=UTA to add 1st TRAX stop in nearly a decade.
