"Metrolink, Amtrak, a maglev train to Las Vegas, the state's high-speed rail project, and the county's CenterLine system are shown converging as if all tracks lead to Anaheim. Designed like a giant layer cake, the station will allow trains to come and go from tiers...Shelved for almost a decade as too much, too soon, the center is dormant no longer. Anaheim has resumed planning Orange County's version of New York's Grand Central Station. Along with Ontario International Airport and Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, the Anaheim transit hub is envisioned as one of three fully integrated hubs connecting the sprawling Southland metropolis."
