Amtrak 769 amidst the Arches at Burbank, CA...
Author: PasadenaSub

I was in Burbank today and thought I'd drop by the Bob Hope Airport Amtrak/Metrolink station since northbound Surfliner 769 was due. It has been a couple of years since I was last here - before the big parking structure at the airport was built. I've always like the arched station platforms here for framing pictures.

Wow, what an optical illusion. I thought from the thumbnails these were over the tracks, and I looked at the full size photo and it still took a second to process. Very cool.

Looks like they would actually keep you dry in a rainstorm, unlike some platforms installed up here in NORCAL. Just look at the MUNI ones--useless!

Sorry, I was under them for a rain and no, it did not keep me dry.

Too Damm high to be of much value, as are most shelters.

Wow your right, I thought they were huge arches over the tracks, not simply over the platform. Could go into some optical illusion category. Good catch
