The FrontRunner is a commuter rail train operated by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) that serves the Wasatch Front from Pleasant View in northern Weber County through Ogden, Davis County, Salt Lake City, and Salt Lake County to Provo in central Utah County. == Description == The FrontRunner runs south from Pleasant View to Provo with a total length of . The name is most often stylized by UTA as ''FRONTRUNNER''. The route uses a portion of the right-of-way of the historic Utah Central Railroad, built in 1869 to connect the First Transcontinental Railroad with Salt Lake City and acquired by the Union Pacific Railroad in 1878. UTA-owned track parallels UP track until Ogden, where UP and UTA share the final of track to Pleasant View. Most of the route used by the FrontRunner is single-tracked (though it runs parallel to UP tracks), with double track at stations and several other points along the route to allow trains to pass each other. The FrontRunner closely parallels Interstate 15 for most of the route. There are about 25 round trips on weekdays between Ogden and Provo (through Salt Lake City). Trains run hourly from about 4:30 am to just after midnight on weekdays (increasing to half hour runs for the morning and evening commutes). On Saturdays trains run every hour and a half from about 6:00 am to 1:30 am the next morning. As of August 2013 the FrontRunner does not run on Sundays or holidays. FrontRunner is a push–pull train locomotive system (with the locomotives running backwards half the time). FrontRunner trains face north, regardless of the direction of travel. Each station (except North Temple Bridge/Guadalupe) has a Park and Ride lot. There is no charge for parking in these lots (except at Draper) and the number of parking spaces available at each station ranges from "limited" to 874. All of UTA's TRAX and FrontRunner trains and stations, streetcars and streetcar stops, and all fixed route buses, are compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act and are therefore accessible to those with disabilities. Since not all FrontRunner passenger cars are wheelchair accessible, signage at the stations, on the passenger platforms, and on the passenger cars clearly indicate accessibility options. In addition, each train has one or more Train Hosts available to provide assistance as may be needed, including the placement of ramps for wheelchair boarding (if necessary). In accordance with the Utah Clean Air Act and UTA ordinance, "smoking is prohibited on UTA vehicles as well as UTA bus stops, TRAX stations, and FrontRunner stations". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FrontRunner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
