Metrolink & Amtrak Trains Morning Rush Hour at LA Union Station! FT SCAX 852, 856, 868, 873 3/27/23

Today, 3/27/2023, I railfanned at Los Angeles Union Station for a while as I was waiting for a train to Lancaster. Morning rush-hour was in full swing, and Metrolink trains were pulling in and out of the station nonstop. I also did encounter two Amtrak trains as well. I saw all 4 active EMD F59PHRs rostered by Metrolink, SCAX 852, SCAX 856, SCAX 868, and SCAX 873. This was before SCAX 852 wrecked, so it has it's blue board that many people have an affinity for, me included. I saw trains from 6 of the 7 Metrolink Lines, Metrolink VC, AV, SB, Riverside, OC, and PV91 lines. Healthy amounts of MP36s and F125s were also seen. Nice variety always makes for an enjoyable time railfanning.
Not listed in the description are also a few Metro Gold Line trains I saw arriving and departing the adjacent platform to the Terminal Lead. This was back before the Regional Connector Opened, hence the two car sets turning around on the platform heading back to Azusa. In addition, unassigned UP 7774 also sat on a pocket track, waiting for a UP Yard Job to bring it back to LATC or East LA following it leading an Amtrak Sunset Limited in a few days prior.
Thanks for watching!
