Video: Union Station passenger concourse concepts

The Link US project would allow trains to enter and exit Union Station from the south and north by building a new rail crossing across the 101 freeway, helping to create greater regional rail capacity and reduce idling. The project includes a new passenger concourse either above or just below the tracks.

 

Planning work continues on the Link Union Station project that would add a new southern entrance/exit to Union Station for Metrolink and Amtrak trains and build a new expanded passenger concourse.

 

The concourse would replace the current tunnel under the Metrolink, Amtrak and Gold Line tracks. The tunnel can get very crowded, lacks any kind of passenger amenities and is a bit on the grim side of things — as regular users know.

 

There are two options for the concourse. One would sit above the tracks and the other would sit just below the tracks.
