Rodney PetersonJune 20, 2012If you're extra tired when getting off the Red Line and wanting to transfer to Pasadena, bypass the elevators and all that walking-ask the nearest Amtrak employee about the magic teleporters!
Station To StationSeptember 27, 2013Here for Station to Station? Tag your tweets/vines/Instagrams and tumblr posts #TrackSTS so they'll show up on
Kelley L.February 4, 2015Purchase monthly pass tickets between the 25th of the preceding month to the 5th of the intended month (I.e., February 25-March 5 for a March monthly pass).
ZIPPERFebruary 1, 2011everytime i step into this place is like going back in time.. i remember this place since i was a little kid! its historical and the people are so nice!
Jaimi KercherMarch 25, 2010Upgrade to business class on the surfliner, especially on Fridays when it's standing room only. Guaranteed seat, free drink and a snack...Totally worth the few extra bucks!
Valentine's Day MovieFebruary 2, 2010Rendezvous at one of the most beautiful train stations in the country. Leave time for an art deco dining experience at Traxx Restaurant – it’s so romantically retro! #vday
Stacy Bo BacyNovember 19, 2018Baggage claim is by the Subway sandwich shop. Keep your baggage tickets to give to the train employee.
Xiong YangMay 19, 2013Leave your damn kids at home if you're taking the last train, better yet don't get on. You may think your kid is cute but they're really just f'ing annoying after 9 pm when people are trying to sleep.
Beautiful Art Deco station. Go wander in the hall of the lost.
James MarshallJuly 22, 2012The art deco restaurant here played host to the Dixon Hill holonovel scenes from Star Trek: First Contact, including over 120 extras and 2 Borg drones! Read more
HugTrainOctober 10, 2012Our favourite station on the whole Amtrak network :) Just beautiful! Next in town on 12/28!
- JessicaDecember 10, 2010get a really tasty and affordable cup of coffee at Famima!! it's waaaay better than the actual coffee shop on-site.
Lisa PriceOctober 14, 2014Sleeper car passengers have a nice lounge on the second floor. Free snacks and drinks.- Kelley L.December 22, 2015Metro Gold Line on platforms 1 and 2, closest to Alameda. Metrolink on platforms 3 to 12. Amtrak on platforms (13, 14) closest to Vignes.
Mark HaileMay 18, 2010The 2010 National Train Day was every bit as crowded (but a lot better organized) as 2009. Enter the vast expanse of the main waiting room and become an instant convert to the romance of rail travel
Angelo WalshNovember 23, 2010Forget using the electrical outlets to recharge your phone or plug in your computer. Many (most) don't work. Recharge your phone at the left phone booth between the first front and side entrance.
Metrolink TrainsMarch 1, 2010Station connects to the following Metrolink lines:Antelope Valley Line - Ventura County Line - San Bernardino Line - Riverside Line - Orange County Line - 91 Line
Marden De CastroJune 9, 2012Arrived at Union Station. Outside is okay inside is really cool looking. Read the tips, to find out more.
Jeff LockettNovember 25, 2011If you have a hunger for BBQ, check out the Spring Street Smoke House. Good food and craft brews
Cynda RashJune 8, 2022When traveling from east to west take the Zeffer train, not the southwest chief!
Weekend passes are no more. They instead have Saturday or Sunday passes. Boo-urns!
Kimberly JohnsonMay 3, 2015Love this place, just hop on to a train or go on the metro link and go anywhere.
You can ride any of the metro subways for free with your metrolink train ticket. That will get you around the main parts of LA.
During the summer, this place gets really hot since the building has no air conditioned..
Zach BehrensMay 22, 2011If you're hungry, head on over to Traxx bar and get some fries with aioli. Yum.
Tamara JordanFebruary 17, 2012The difference between metrolink is there aren't as many trip times but they're like $30 bucks cheaper. And Metrolink's staff is WAY nicer.
Jimmy RichardsonJuly 27, 2011The Dodger StadiumExpress is a great way to avoid Dodger Stadiums $15 parking. Free with a game ticket!
On weekends, use Metrolink and pay $10 for a whole day.
If you're coming here for the first time, make sure u give yourself enough time to find hour way around cuz this place is Huge!!!
Jonathan MoralesJanuary 26, 2012Try dining at TRAXX for a great Turkey and avocado baguette and good vino
Jaake MargoApril 18, 2014Very very v far from Central Park. Not to be confused with grand central station.
Lots of undesirable homeless people that act like they have a public right to use the facilities
Don't forget to grab a beer or a glass of wine on the train. There's nothing quite like a refreshing drink on a train for some reason.
s vMay 20, 2016Starbucks google wifi + standing tables nearby in front of subway = FTW for working on laptop before train
@socalwithkidsMay 5, 2011Heading to Union Station for National Train Day? Fun, FREE, family event taking place Saturday, May 7th, 2011. Festivities include music, model trains, an Amtrak rail display & more! Details at link. Read more
Make sure to let the other people step out of the train first and wait to get in! Jeeeeeez people!
Lee GJuly 25, 2011Getting on a double decker train? You can probably leave your luggage on the bottom level so you don't need to drag it up the stairs.
John SmartApril 2, 2012Do ya know how great this building is? Do you really KNOW? Go. Sit. Between 4-6 or so. Just sit.
$5 day pass let's you ride all the metro routes & rails. Free on Christmas Eve & New Year's Eve
Andrea Zeppilli AponteFebruary 7, 2012If you need help finding what track your train is on just ask the person who drives the station golf cart. I got door to door service!
Looking forward to great restaurants in the old ticketing area!
Just take the earlier train/bus. Have some extra time to start up in the morning with little rush.
I love this place! Walk around inside and out, it's beautiful.
