The Coast Line is a 15 quad-block mile light rail line that runs between Coastal Point and Union Square. The line is named after Coast Boulevard, which it runs alongside for most of its route.[3][4] It is one of the six lines in the Victoria Transportation Authority Rail system and is operated by the Victoria County Transportation Authority (Metro).
The Coast Line largely follows the right-of-way of the former BluRail Victoria Line. Passenger service ended in 2017; freight-only service ended by March December 2017. Several Coast Line stations are built in the same location as BluRail Victoria Line stations, although no original station structures have been reused.
