Old Ironsides station functions as a light rail stop located in Santa Clara, California and is managed by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) within the VTA light rail network. It accommodates service on the Orange Line and serves as the northern endpoint for the Green Line. Positioned to the west of the station, there is a pocket track along with a double crossover, which enables Green Line trains to change tracks and provides storage capacity for three 3-car trains, facilitating swift deployment following events at Levi's Stadium.
Following events at Levi's Stadium, the station may remain closed for up to one hour to effectively control passenger movement. In contrast, VTA's Great America station is better equipped to manage larger volumes of attendees due to its closer location and more advanced amenities.
