When Union Station in downtown Los Angeles opened on May 4, 1939, passengers on the Union Pacific, Santa Fe, and Southern Pacific railway lines arrived and departed from the same glorious station that combined Art Deco and Mission Revival with Streamline Moderne—AND a Harvey House restaurant. This photo shows us how the place looked just before it opened with those Harvey Girls (made (even more) famous by MGM’s “The Harvey Girls” (1946) starring Judy Garland) lined up ready to serve hungry passengers with a train to catch. You can see lots of color photos of it here: http://bit.ly/1yDmQlj
