During one of my recent Metrolink blitzes, I rode from Los Angeles Union Station to Santa Ana where I changed for an Inland Empire-Orange County Line train running from Oceanside to San Bernardino.<\/p>\n

I timed this brief visit to coincide with a flurry of Amtrak and Metrolink trains. I had just 45 minutes to make images of this classic Santa Fe station having never previously explored here.<\/p>\n

I found Santa Ana to be an excellent mid-morning location.<\/p>\n

The footbridge is photographer friendly and the old Santa Fe building makes for a suitably California setting. The height\u00a0of the bridge allows for both distant telephoto views as well as wide-angle down-on photos.<\/p>\n

I exposed these views digitally using my Lumix LX7 and FujiFilm XT1.<\/p>\n
