About This Tour
Union Station was the last great railway station built during the golden age of rail travel – an exciting site of colliding community histories.
We’ll visit the stunning former Fred Harvey Restaurant site and hear about the women who worked there in the 1940s and the Ticketing Concourse and Waiting Room, where passengers purchased tickets alongside soldiers headed to war.
You’ll learn about the Japanese families who were deported from Union Station during the same period and how L.A.’s current Chinatown was formed in relation to Union Station’s construction. Along the way, you’ll see newly restored architectural details as well as famous interiors recognizable from decades of film and television spots.
See this beloved L.A. landmark up close, and learn how Union Station continues to evolve.
