METRO GOLD LINE: THE PASADENA LIGHT RAIL TO UNION STATION

The light rail Metro Gold Line spans 13.7 miles linking Union Station in downtown Los Angeles and Sierra Madre Villa in East Pasadena via Chinatown, Highland Park, South Pasadena and Pasadena.

Aside from using the Pasadena Gold Line as a form of transportation to and from work, it is a great way to explore the cultures of the communites around Pasadena. If you feel the need to “get away” on a day off you can hop on the gold line from any of Pasadena’s six stations. The Pasadena Gold Line will take you to Highland Park where you can visit the Southwest Museum, Chinatown, or to where the line ends, at the Union Station and visit the historic Olvera Street for a taste of colorful Mexican culture.

Union Station in Los Angeles, which opened in May 1939, is known as the "Last of the Great Railway Stations" built in the United States. Union Station was partially designed by the father and son team of John Parkinson and Donald B. Parkinson, or the Parkinsons, assisted by a group of supporting architects, including the famous Jan van der Linden. The Architecture of Union Station is an experience all in its own. The impressive architecture combines the Mission Revival style, and Streamline Moderne style, which was a late branch of Art Deco.

The Pasadena Metro Gold Line joins two light rail lines, Metro Blue and Green Lines, and a subway, The Metro Red Line that crisscross portions of Los Angeles County from Long Beach to Los Angeles, Redondo Beach, Norwalk, Hollywood, Universal City, North Hollywood as well as Pasadena.

The most notable Pasadena station of the Metro Gold Line is the Del Mar station because of the large scale restoration and expansion it recently underwent. The Pasadena Del Mar station has been converted from the old, historic Santa Fe train depot and is the home to many new construction apartments and Pasadena Condos, including the Pasadena Archstone Apartments, and the brand new Pasadena Dalton, which is a development project of high end industrial lofts and condominiums.

The Pasadena Del Mar station is on the southern edge of Old Town Pasadena and within walking distance of an abundance of shops, restaurants and theaters. Across the street is Central Park, the site of many special events including the city’s annual jazz festival. The Del Mar station is surrounded by several new residential buildings and features public plaza areas, restaurants, and retail stores.
