LOS ANGELES (August 2026) – YESCO, the 106-year-old company known for creating, repairing and maintaining internationally recognizable signs, announces the completion of a large-scale interior LED signage upgrade at the historic Los Angeles Union Station. The project, funded by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), owner of Los Angeles Union Station, replaced outdated digital displays with 15 state-of-the-art, high-resolution LED units designed to enhance the passenger experience at one of the West Coast’s busiest transportation hubs.
Working under Abbott Construction, the project’s general contractor, YESCO provided and installed the new digital signage package throughout Union Station’s interior. The upgraded displays, manufactured by SNA Displays, feature significantly improved pixel pitch and brightness, delivering higher visual clarity for transit information, wayfinding, station announcements, event messaging and local advertising. The new screens also increase overall display area, replacing previous units with larger formats that improve visibility and accessibility for travelers navigating the 86-year-old landmark.
The digital signage package included a variety of display types and dimensions tailored to the station’s architectural environment. New installations range from 8 feet 4 inches by 18 feet 2 inches wall-mounted displays to suspended double-faced 3 feet 4 inches by 18 feet 1-inch directional units, along with several large-format concourse displays measuring up to 4 feet 2 inches by 24 feet 8 inches. Pixel pitch specifications span 1.563 mm, 2.5 mm and 3.91 mm, providing crisp, high-resolution viewing at multiple distances within the station’s waiting room, passageways and passenger concourse. Collectively, the project incorporates more than 20 million individual LED diodes.
YESCO collaborated closely with Morlin Asset Management, the property manager and agent for Los Angeles Union Station, as well as Cresa SoCal Project & Development Services team, which provided comprehensive project management services, coordinating project stakeholders and overseeing every phase of execution from planning and design through construction and project completion. The project team also included Selbert Perkins Design, the design firm, which helped integrate the upgraded displays into the historic station while preserving its architectural integrity. Opened in 1939, Union Station is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources and remains the busiest railroad passenger terminal in the western United States.
“Completing this upgrade at the Los Angeles Union Station reflects our team’s commitment to delivering high-quality digital display solutions for some of the nation’s most significant public spaces,” said Steve Laddaga, senior account executive, YESCO. “These new LED systems enhance the flow of information for travelers every day while honoring the architectural character and history of this iconic station.”
“It’s been a pleasure to work with the project teams and stakeholders at Union Station, one of the country’s most notable transportation hubs,” said Craig Sholder, director of sales at SNA Displays. “The high-end LED displays deliver clearer, more efficient communication for daily travelers, all while seamlessly integrating with the station’s timeless character.”
