This weekend is Train Festival 2023 at Union Station. “A Celebration of Past, Present, and Future" is this year's theme, and all that history and more will be highlighted at the event.The oldest train we have is a 1927 Santa Fe 3751 steam locomotive. That’s the star of the show. Some people call it the Polar Express train because it looks strikingly similar to that train," says Suzie Vance, Director of Marketing at Union Station.
The architecture was the product of father-and-son team John and Donald Parkinson, blending Spanish Colonial, Mission Revival and Art Deco styles into more than just a mindless pitstop for tens of thousands of commuters speeding their way through LA’s heart of public transportation.at Union Station is highlighting all that history and more.
Our model trains are the second largest component of this event. We're hosting approximately four to five different group enthusiasts of model trains, working in conjunction with the National Model Railroad Association. They’ll be displaying their models, some of which are 30 by 50 feet. Every model train is a little bit different. You know, they put mountains and towns in their displays. There's a lot in California, of course, to put into a model train exhibit. We had more takers than we could accommodate. They really came in droves to display because they're very proud and passionate about it.Yeah, California High Speed Rail has one of the largest booths on our South Patio.
