Before you head off on your grand Anaheim adventure, take a moment to admire the ARTIC station that opened in 2014 to both Metrolink and Amtrak service. Designed by the renowned architectural firm HOK, the station features a compound curved shell covered with air-filled plastic pillows that let the sun illuminate the interior. At night the multicolored lights on the arched roof can be seen for miles.
