The 1887-built Carlsbad station, which was used by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway until 1960, is located 0.1 miles (0.16 km) to the south.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 as the Carlsbad Santa Fe Depot.

[6] The Carlsbad Village and Sorrento Valley stops were dropped on October 8, 2018, due to changes with the cross-ticketing arrangement with COASTER and NCTD.

The tracks at surface level also cause local traffic congestion and safety hazards.
