Murray Central
The Murray Central station is just west of the IHC Medical Center on 5400 South in Murray. This station serves passengers of the Blue Line to Sandy and the Red Line to Daybreak, and will also serve FrontRunner when the south extension opens in December 2012.

Bingham Junction
The Bingham Junction station is next to hundreds of condos, townhomes and apartments. Looks like an excellent place to live if you can commute to work downtown or near another TRAX stop.
Construction of the new IHC warehouse is complete north of the tracks. There is a WinCo grocery story, gas station and strip mall less than a mile to the north.

The West Jordan Veterans Memorial Park hosts Car Shows and movies in the park. Please check the West Jordan City website for details. This park also boasts the largest playground in Utah with over 12,000 square feet of play surface. There are tennis courts, baseball fields, basketball courts and a volleyball court.
The West Jordan Farmers Market is right next to this TRAX station. Every Tuesday from 3:00pm - 7:00pm through October.

Sugar Factory Road
The Sugar Factory station is in the middle of a residential area. The parking lot was over 50% full, nice to see so many people taking the train to work.
