Union Station (MetroLink)

Union Station is a light rail station on the Red and Blue lines of the St. Louis MetroLink system. This below-grade station is located partially within the former baggage tunnel beneath historic St. Louis Union Station near 18th Street at its intersection with Clark Avenue.

Station layout
The station is located at the east portal of the Union Station Tunnel. Its platform is accessed via an elevator and staircase from the west within the Union Station train shed and a staircase on the east embankment.

Public artwork
In 2013, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work Spring Forth by Jim Gallucci for this 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.
