North Side station is a TEXRail commuter rail station in Fort Worth, Texas. The station is owned and operated by Trinity Metro. It services the North Side district and is the primary transfer point for service to the Fort Worth Stockyards.
The station platform contains three murals by artist Merri Ellen Kase. Two of the murals depict the cowboy culture of the Stockyards, while the third depicts Day of the Dead in tribute to North Side's Hispanic population.[4]

Service
North Side station is the northern terminus of the Orange Line, a bus route which services the Fort Worth Stockyards.[5]
The station is located within two of Trinity Metro's on-demand service zones. The Mercantile zone serves northern Fort Worth (excluding Alliance, which uses a separate zone), and the North Side zone serves the eponymous district.[6]
TEXRail's service yard is located between the North Side and Mercantile Center stations. Because of this, westbound trains entering service start at North Side and eastbound trains exiting service terminate at North Side.[7]
