San Diego’s Santa Fe depot. Amtrak passengers must wait until this locked gate is opened before boarding trains. This makes it difficult for Coaster or Trolley passengers to enter the station; they must detour around the station building. (Noel Braymer Photo)

Sacramento Valley Station. While the city is discussing renaming this place, they have made several improvements besides the new platforms. This is the new highway exit from the parking lot onto I Street. (Russ Jackson Photo)
