Los Angeles

"The Sunset Limited’s trip ends in downtown Los Angeles, arriving at Union Station in the early morning. Currently scheduled for arrival at 5:35 a.m. PT, the time isn’t the most ideal, but it certainly allows for an early start to the day. One thing to be aware of: IF the Sunset is running on time out of Maricopa, Arizona (scheduled the depart around 9 p.m.), it can arrive into LA more than an hour early as long as it has a clean run overnight. This is because it doesn’t have to wait for its scheduled departure time at Ontario or Pomona and can leave early. So be prepared for an even earlier start to the day (or hope you’re running slightly behind schedule). The City of Angels presents endless opportunities of places to go, things to do, eat and stay. On top of that, you can make direct connections to a variety of Amtrak trains. The Pacific Surfliner (regional service between San Luis Obispo and San Diego), the Southwest Chief (LD to Chicago via Albuquerque & Kansas City), the Coast Starlight (LD to Seattle via Oakland & Portland). Union Station in Los Angeles is well-known for appearing in a variety of tv shows as well as movies, but it is also on the National Register of Historic Places. Located a mere two miles from Dodger Stadium (MLB) and less than a mile to the heart of downtown, it is perfectly situated for a car-less adventure (you might prefer it that way/get where you’re going faster too!)."
