» Literalman - LA Union Station

"Union Station. It is wonderful to see this station not only faithfully restored, but also once again becoming a vital and busy part of Los Angeles": I have been to LA only once, more than 20 years ago, but it's my understanding that the station is busier (serving more passengers) now than at any time in its history. If so, it's not just becoming what it used to be, its revival has already gone beyond the previous high point.

Hi Steve: Yes, that is very true. Against all predictions, Los Angeles and Orange County have developed a truly regional public transportation system, including light rail and increased Amtrak stations, and more and more the locals, in addition to the visitors, are forgoing their cars and riding the train. In addition, Union Station has a good restaurant, Traxx, which is a destination in itself. Lynne

» jerrib - I'm ready!

And I'm sending this on to my daughter. Her son would love to go to LegoLand.

My only experience with trains has been the Chicago/Seattle run, which is not the best. If you're getting on in Montana after skiing on the way to Seattle the train is pretty wasted.

I love trains and this really sounds like fun.

Thanks for the cyber trip.
