Dash And LADOT

The Metro Rail lines are as follows (only a few stations are listed to indicate the lines' general routes):

• Blue (B) Line: light railway/tram. 7th Street/Metro Centre, Imperial/Wilmington, Long Beach area. Passes through Vernon, Huntington Park, South Gate, Watts, Compton, Carson and Long Beach.

• Gold (C) Line: under construction; opens summer 2003. Los Angeles Union Station to Pasadena area.

• Green Line (D) Line: light railway/tram. Redondo Beach area, Aviation (free shuttle to and from Los Angeles International Airport), Imperial/Wilmington, Norwalk area (I-105/I-605 interchange). Passes through Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo, Lennox, Inglewood, Watts, Lynwood, Downey and Norwalk. Between Norwalk and Aviation this line runs for about 17 miles along the median (central reservation) of the Glenn Anderson (Century) Freeway (I-105). There are vague plans to eventually build a branch of this line to Los Angeles International Airport.

• Red (A) Line: subway (underground railway). Los Angeles Union Station, 7th Street/Metro Centre, Wilshire/Vermont; then one short branch to Wilshire Western and another much longer branch to Hollywood/Vine, Universal City and North Hollywood.

Most of Metrolink's routes radiate out from Los Angeles Union Station, as follows:

• 91 Line (heads east): Los Angeles Union Station, Commerce, Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs, Fullerton, Anaheim, Orange, Anaheim Canyon, West Corona, North Main Corona (new station, may not be open yet), Riverside – La Sierra, Riverside – Downtown, San Bernardino. This line's name comes from the fact that it roughly parallels that of California state highway 91. Does not operate on Saturdays or Sundays. An undated unofficial map marked this line as the "Los Angeles - Fullerton - Riverside" line so perhaps that is an alternative name.

• Antelope Valley Line (heads north): Los Angeles Union Station, Glendale, Burbank, Sun Valley, Sylmar/San Fernando, Newhall, Santa Clarita, Via Princessa, Vincent Grade/Acton, Lancaster. Does not operate on Sundays. An undated unofficial map marked this line as the "Santa Clarita Line" so perhaps that is an alternative name.

• IEOC (Inland Empire/Orange County Line): Oceanside, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo, Irvine, Tustin, Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim Canyon, West Corona, North Maine Corona (new station, may not be open yet), Riverside - La Sierra, Riverside - Downtown, San Bernardino. Does not operate on Saturdays or Sundays. This is the only line which does not originate at Los Angeles Union Station.
