Inland Empire–Orange County Line

The Inland Empire–Orange County (IEOC) Line is a commuter rail route managed by Metrolink serving Southern California. This line links San Bernardino to Oceanside located in northern San Diego County, traversing through Orange County. It stands as Metrolink's lengthiest line and was the first to operate without routing through Union Station or crossing the Los Angeles River. Additionally, it was a pioneer in offering suburb-to-suburb commuter rail transit within the United States.

Introduced as Metrolink's sixth route, the IEOC Line began service between Riverside and Irvine on October 2, 1995. Following improvements to the tracks, the line extended service to San Bernardino on March 4, 1996. Apart from Anaheim Canyon station, its stations overlap with those served by the 91/Perris Valley Line, Orange County Line, Riverside Line, or San Bernardino Line.

As of July 2016, there are eight weekday trains traveling in both directions between San Bernardino - Downtown and Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo. Weekend operations, initiated by the Orange County Transportation Authority in July 2006, include two trains each on Saturday and Sunday that stop at every station along the route, including weekend-exclusive stops such as San Clemente Pier.

The extension reaching Downtown San Bernardino to the San Bernardino Transit Center commenced operations on December 16, 2017, improving transit connections within the Inland Empire area.
