Union Station
The iconic rail annex first opened in May 1939. Since then, this historic station has become known as the “Last of the Great Railway Stations.”
In addition to long-distance Amtrak routes, Union Station serves two Metro subway lines (the Red and Purple Lines) and one light rail line (the Gold Line). Metrolink passenger trains also pass through this transportation hub and service five regional lines: Ventura County, Antelope Valley, San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange County.
