Los Angeles Union Station

Hello all! My husband created this page and he has not posted in a long time, it's kinda taken a life of it's own. That's a good thing! I am his wife and will be posting a lot more on here. I'll start with some great news for all you Union Station fans. Next weekend is a special one. Check it out! https://www.unionstationla.com//union-station-80th-anniver

Here's a nice video explaining the master plan for the future of LAUS. http://thesource.metro.net//new-video-shows-phases-of-uni/

Los Angeles Union Station, 1950's. Opened in 1939, it is the largest railroad passenger terminal in the western USA.

Some of my favorites

1971. Southern Pacific's Coast Daylight and an unidentified Santa Fe train. http://www.snowcrest.net/photobob/index1.html

So what do y'all think of this? I think it can done but I'm nervous. California doesn't have the best track record when it comes to historic preservation. I really do hate the widened concourse tunnel. http://thesource.metro.net//metro-seek-ok-to-move-union-s/

For the classic movie fans out there. The locations in the movie are fictional but GREAT footage of our favorite place! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043090/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Shall we play a game? Where were you going the last time you were at Union Station?
