Document Description
The proposed improvements to Union Station would extend two of the existing tracks southward from Union Station and provide a new connection into the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway mainline on the west side of the Los Angeles River; this would allow some trains that use the station to avoid the pull in/back out situation that causes delays either at the station platforms or on the connecting tracks while waiting for a slot at the platforms. The proposed structure would form an S-curve, connecting at its north/west end to track platforms at Union Station and its south/east end ot a point along the BNSF mainline in the vicinity of the First Street Bridge. A range of potential alignments has been developed that could be located in the area north of First Street. Union Station improvements to increase accessibility to platforms are also planned.
