Union Station is a location and a landmark in L.A. Noire. It is a major passenger rail terminal and transit station located in the northeast corner of Downtown, Los Angeles at 800 N. Alameda St., near El Pueblo de Los Angeles.
Railroads that operate in and out of the station and the surrounding railroad yards are the Pacific Electric Railway, the Southern Pacific Railroad, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, and the Union Pacific Railroad. On the station platforms, Union Pacific passenger trains can be seen pulling in and out of the station. In the game, the station features beautiful red, white and black flooring, a courtyard, a locker room, bathrooms, a terminal tunnel and a loading station outside with all the tracks.
In Game Description
Designed in part by John and Donald Parkinson, Union Station was opened in 1939, and cost 11 million dollars to build. Its grand tile and marble waiting room and outdoor garden patios have led to it being called the 'Last of the Great Railway Stations'.
