Link Union Station (Link US)

The Link Union Station (US) Project proposes new run-through tracks on an elevated rail yard to improve operational flexibility, expand Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS) capacity, and accommodate future high-speed rail service. The Project also proposes an expanded passageway.
