Los Angeles Union Station's Tracks 1 and 2 were converted to light rail lines – and no longer stub ended – back in July 1990 as Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Gold Line. (LACMTA is better known as just "Metro".) Today, these tracks are part of the A Line, as Metro gave up colors in favor of letters. Metro also reconfigured much of the system and, in the process, actually improving it significantly. The A Line connects Long Beach on the south with Azusa to the northeast (with expansion further eastward being constructed now). An Azusa-bound train, consisting of a pair of Kinki Sharyo P3010 LRVs: 1141 and 1164.
Meanwhile, on adjacent Track 3, a Metrolink train set has just arrived and, once loaded, will depart Union Station as Ventura County Line train 163 (Los Angeles to Ventura East) with F125 919 pulling four cars (280, 187, 124 and 676).
From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
