Fun Facts

Opened in 1939, Union Station is the largest passenger railroad terminal in the Western United States and a stunning example of Mission Revival and Art Deco architecture.

Union Station's iconic design has made it a popular filming location, appearing in movies like 'Blade Runner' and 'The Dark Knight Rises'.

The station features a hidden garden courtyard, offering travelers a peaceful escape amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown LA.

Legend has it that a ghostly train roams the tracks at night, a nod to the station's rich history and the many travelers who passed through its doors.

In the 1970s, there were plans to replace it with a modern skyscraper, but preservationists saved this architectural gem for future generations to enjoy.
