Shiloh–Scott station serves as a light rail stop and currently acts as the endpoint for the Red Line within the St. Louis MetroLink network. Situated at ground level, this station is found in Shiloh, Illinois, directly next to Scott Air Force Base.
History
The station commenced operations on June 23, 2003, marking the completion of Phase 2 in the St. Clair County extension, which expanded MetroLink service from College to this location.
Serving as the final point for the St. Clair County Transit District's MetroBikeLink shared-use path network, the trail segment linking College and Shiloh-Scott was inaugurated in 2017.
Station layout
Shiloh-Scott station is divided into two distinct areas: one accessible to the general public and another restricted exclusively to individuals possessing security clearance for Scott Air Force Base. Both sections are equipped with separate park and ride facilities.
Extension in progress
In 2019, the St. Clair County Transit District obtained $96 million through Illinois infrastructure funding to extend the Red Line from Shiloh-Scott to MidAmerica St. Louis Airport located in Mascoutah. This expansion project encompasses two track segments—one double-track and one single-track—as well as a new station at the airport. Construction activities started in 2023, with revenue service anticipated to begin in early 2026.
