You
may not feel movement under your feet, but for decor and ambiance,

conference room). |

The
"Garden" at Union Station!
The private
vintage railcars of LARail.com are stored at a special place at Union
Station, kind of tucked in behind the old US Post Office Terminal
Annex building just to the north of Union Station and certainly part
of the Union Station train platform / yard complex.
How the Garden got
its name is lost to history ... and all would agree that the area is
much more industrial then garden like! Originally, the area was the
business car park for the three railroads that owned and operated Los
Angeles Union Passenger Terminal; Southern Pacific, AT&SF and
Union Pacific. But just the same, it is a very exciting venue ... the
surroundings definitely add to the experience!
The private car
storage area is a live railroad yard, and cars come and go at the
will of the owners. Like a marina, you never know what car might drop
in or what car might leave for a journey.

Sunday - $300.00 /

cleaning/damage deposit can be forfeited to cover cleaning. We
reserve the right to monitor and end the event if the party were to
get "out of hand"
You are free to
stock and staff the railcar. An LARail.com staff person(s) will be
with the equipment to ensure everything is on and functioning.
Multiple cars may
be available at the same per car rates. |

successful events. The area can handle 400 people. Please contact for rates.
