Union Station
March 11, 2023: Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. Opened in May 1939, Union Station consolated the Los Angeles operations of the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, and Santa Fe railroads into one terminal. The "Last of the Great Railroad Stations" building saw heavy use during World War II. But in the 1950s, air and auto travel competition significantly reduced the public's use of Union Station.
