Our Story in Pictures
Los Angeles, Union Station, Rail Stations, 1939

Unattributed photo at Union Station History.

Circa 1939. Auto traffic streams by Union Station (then known as Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal), along Alameda Boulevard in Los Angeles. Opened in 1939, the station was the last of America’s great train stations to be built. Not long after its opening, it experienced a massive surge in rail passengers during the World War II years (1941-1945). Large numbers of military personnel transitted through Los Angeles, as well as new arrivals seeking work in Southern California's booming war industry.
