Welcome Reception
Sunday, October 14, 6:30 pm–8:30 pm
Join us in the Old Ticket Room at historic Union Station. One of the nation's last great train stations, until the 1950s the station was the gateway to Los Angeles, connecting with trains from all over the United States. True to its LA roots, the station and its iconic Spanish Colonial Revival architecture have been featured in numerous films, including The Way We Were and The Italian Job. More than an icon, see how Union Station has evolved into the robust mixed-use hub of LA’s regional transit system. A perfect gateway to Rail~Volution.
