Metrolink Antelope Valley Line: Desert, Mountains, and City!

Welcome to another trip report aboard Metrolink, Southern California's regional rail system! Previously, we rode the San Bernardino line, which is not so scenic. Today's trip is totally different: we're taking a trip on the Antelope Valley Line. Our journey starts at Via Princessa, which is located in the middle of lush green mountains. It's hard to imagine that just a few miles away, the line originates in the Mojave Desert. We ride the train to Los Angeles Union Station, right in the heart of America's second-largest city. Along the way, let's learn all about this line's speedy history.
