Metrolink Is A Star!

Most Southern Californian’s knows someone who knows someone who has been an extra in a Hollywood production and Metrolink is no exception.

While most productions are filmed in studios throughout Los Angeles, there are times when it’s easier for film crews to go on location throughout the region. Not only can you take Metrolink to some of these famous filming sites, but our trains have made cameos in a few productions as well. You never know, maybe your train will make a cameo on your next ride.
