Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, opened in 1939, is one of that city's Mission Revival architectural gems and is considered the last great railway depot to be built in the United States. Several Amtrak long-distance trains use it, and so do scores of daily commuter trains, light rail cars, subways and buses. With a super-wide-angle lens I was able to get in a little of the colorful plaza in the foreground.
