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
Beautiful Art Deco station. Go wander in the hall of the lost.
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
There's a hidden metrolink ticket kiosk between the Starbucks and the Pretzel place.
Starbucks google wifi + standing tables nearby in front of subway = FTW for working on laptop before train
On weekends, use Metrolink and pay $10 for a whole day.
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!
DianaJuly 22, 2010Union Station is great place to shoot photos and to hold events. Parking is only $6 per day. Walk to Phillipe's for the French Dip. Sit outside in the garden.
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.
Cynda RashJune 8, 2022When traveling from east to west take the Zeffer train, not the southwest chief!
Kimberly LarsenJune 1, 2012If you're taking the train through, be sure to switch sides if you want to be on the ocean side with the views!
HugTrainOctober 10, 2012Our favourite station on the whole Amtrak network :) Just beautiful! Next in town on 12/28!

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.
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.
power outlets on the silver train! look for them on the side of the aisle.

Jaake MargoApril 18, 2014Very very v far from Central Park. Not to be confused with grand central station.- JessicaDecember 10, 2010get a really tasty and affordable cup of coffee at Famima!! it's waaaay better than the actual coffee shop on-site.
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.
Matt DickerDecember 24, 2013The scene in The Dark Knight Rises in which the Scarecrow holds court was filmed at Union Station.- Looking forward to great restaurants in the old ticketing area!
