This article is about the light rail station in St. Louis, Missouri. For the station on the Metrolink commuter rail system in Southern California, see Union Station (Los Angeles).

In 2013, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work Spring Forth by Jim Gallucci for installation near the station. The stainless steel sculpture depicts fantastical plant forms that leap and arch from the grassy embankment, celebrating the vitality that the MetroLink system brings to the St. Louis area.[4]


Station layout


The platform is accessed via an elevator and staircase on the west end from the Union Station train shed and a staircase on the embankment on the east end.
