Getting around Los Angeles by Rail/Metrolink
Metrolink is a commuter rail system serving five counties in the southern California area. The system is centered at Los Angeles Union Station, with seven of its eight lines terminating there. Metrolink trains arrive less often than Metro Rail trains, and unlike the Metro Rail trains, they depart on specific schedules. (These schedules can be found here.)
