Arriving in Dallas by Train?
The DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) Orange Line goes to Irving.
Once your train arrives at Union Station, take either the Blue Line (header will read “Rowlett Station”) or the Red Line (header will read “Parker Road Station”) to any of the downtown stations to transfer to an Orange Line train.
The West End Station is the first you will come to. At West End, get off and walk to the corner and across the street to catch the Orange Line (with the header of “DFW Airport”). If walking to the corner to cross the street is an issue, you can ride to Pearl Station at the other end of downtown. That station allows you to get off and just walk across the platform to wait for the Orange Line toward DFW Airport.
Once you are on the Orange Line headed towards the Airport, go to the Irving Convention Center Station and get off there. The Convention Center will be the big copper building to your right as you get off the train. It’s about a 5–10 minute walk from the station to the Convention Center.
