Document Description
In Segment 1, the Project would increase the elevation of tracks south of the
Vignes Street Bridge leading to the rail yard and add one new lead track. In Segment 2, the Project would replace the existing pedestrian passageway under the platforms and tracks with a new expanded passageway. In Segment 3, the Project would include a new viaduct structure connecting eight (8) new run-through tracks for regional and intercity trains, south of L.A. Union Station Platforms 2 through 5.
These tracks would merge into a minimum of four (4) tracks on a viaduct over US-101 and continue south to connect to mainline tracks along the west bank of the Los Angeles River. As transportation mitigation for the primary project, Malabar Yard Improvements include closure of the 49th Street at-grade railroad crossing to provide storage capacity and, on 46th Street, the Project would construct approximately 1,000 feet of new track to provide dedicated connection for trains to travel between BNSF’s Malabar Yard and Los Angeles Junction.
