Chatsworth - Chatsworth, California

Like you would expect from Los Angeles county. The place where they encourage drug use and homelessness. The place is sketchy, tons of litter. Generally a foul place.
Maybe Los Angeles would do better if they promoted a Kleen safe atmosphere and put our tax dollars to better use. Maybe funding the police is a good idea. Maybe these stupid fools here should stop voting the way they’ve been voting. Obviously, it’s not working!

The Chatsworth Metrolink station is home to the metro as well as the Amtrak train. I have taken the metro from this location before and recently picked up a friend here from the train portion. If you arrive early enough in the morning, you should be able to find a decent parking spot, but it does feel up throughout the day as many people are leaving and coming. The main issue I see with this location is the lack of lighting. Late at night. It is very hard to see and I feel that could be a safety hazard. I recommend to add some more lights to make it easier for people to get around.

Interesting station with many helpful transit connections and regular service! Make connections to the Orange Line Busway, Amtrak and or Metrolink here. Can feel extremely desolate and creepy at off-peak hours especially in the evening. Lighting is poor at night but there is a security guard stationed inside the station normally. Restrooms are hit or miss, sometimes the security guard has them open, most likely he has the restrooms locked though. No need to worry about parking because of the massive lots surrounding the station! There is also a fun museum to check out with lots of interesting information about the history of the area!

I'm REALLY conflicted in how to approach and rate this review. I was not here to take a train. Or a bus. I was here because in Bronwyn Ralph's (otherwise very cool) book, "Off The Beaten Path, SFV" this is listed as "Chatsworth Depot Museum of Transportation and Movie History". THAT is what I was looking for.

Don't get me wrong... it's here! Kind of. I rarely give things like this 1 star... but the whole way home, I was thinking to myself... If this were just a train station with some cool stuff in it for folks to enjoy while waiting... that'd be cool. But if you call yourself "Chatsworth Station of Museum of Transportation and Movie History"... this was the BIGGEST 1 star... ZERO STAR I've ever seen!!! If you don't have a pamphlet, you can't call yourself a museum!!!

But then I searched to write my review, and there are only a few places that call it that... here on Yelp it's just called "Chatsworth Station". On Google, it's just called "Chatsworth Station". So now what am I supposed to do? NOT write a review? There might be other parents looking to take their toddlers here after learning about this whom I can save. So I need to write the review... but I feel bad having my rating influence others who might be looking at this as a train station. So Instead of giving this the 1 STAR that it deserves as a museum... I'm going to rate it 2 stars, because while I really don't know how they function as a train station... the museum side (which there is a sign on the building) is highly misleading and it's good.

One thing to know before you go (if you go)... the "museum" IS the train station. As we walked in, it was clear that this trip was a mistake. Because it is the train station there were just old men passed out on benches and one guy who may or may not be working there trying to give folks information but was truly unintelligible (absolutely not trying to be mean... just express my experience). He yelled something as we came in that I'm still unclear if it was at us or at someone else. It was very strange and disorienting. As I started to realize that this WAS the museum, I walked around and saw what there was to see (almost all of which you can see easily online). A model of the train depot (much too high for toddlers to see) a picture of John Wayne and some pictures from other films, two costumes from Bonanza (probably the highlight), a cowboy statue, and some pictures of how the valley used to look. That's pretty much it. Quite the let down.

If I were a commuter, I bet this would be REALLY COOL decor... but to call yourself a museum?!?!? There was NO information about the "museum"! Again... if you don't have a pamphlet... you're not a museum!

A sparse transit station with no amenities: no restrooms or indoor area for patrons. Parking is plentiful, but that is about it. You may find homeless and indigent people about the parking area and buildings in the morning and evening. There is security. Kiosks are located near the day care building.

It's a large, good looking place but I would rather go to another Station bc it's not well lit making it unsafe in the evenings. Furthermore, the public isn't permitted to use their restrooms. I was told due to vandalism... This place could be utilized better, what were they thinking.

Alright so nice area nice places to eat around the area and a walk but the bus is never on time and if its then that's a chance. Trains aren't in a hurry so even when on time you have to wait to get on also there's chances for your delay or other trains due to business and good luck I suggest if your ever in a rush or hurry get there 30 minutes to an hour earlier.
