Wellston station is a light rail station on the Red Line of the St. Louis MetroLink system.[4] An at-grade station with 243 park-and-ride spaces, it primarily serves commuters. The station's name reflects its location: the inner-ring suburb of Wellston, Missouri.
In 2023, Great Rivers Greenway completed a .53-mile (about .85 km) extension to the St. Vincent Greenway between Trojan Park and Robert L. Powell Place. The greenway parallels Stephen Jones Avenue and then Plymouth Avenue where it connects with this station.[5]
