Engaging ‘Once Upon a Train’ Encourages Metrolink Weekend Travel

Metrolink trains travel to amazing places, and there’s a story in every journey. 

This summer, OCTA is encouraging adventurers to discover their own stories at Once Upon a Train, a special website featuring a video, prize giveaways, and social media that showcases amazing destinations within walking distance of Metrolink stations.

Beaches, Disneyland, Hollywood, and many other great daytrip destinations are a convenient train ride away from one of the 11 Metrolink stations located between Los Angeles and Oceanside.

No matter how they arrive at Once Upon a Train -- desktop computer, tablet, or mobile phone – visitors will have a wonderful and responsive interactive experience because the website adapts to any device. They can plan a trip at home and take the details along – or change course on the go.

As an incentive to increase website usage and participation, a sweepstakes drawing gives participants a chance to win hundreds of great prizes, including Disneyland® Resort Park Hopper® tickets and Metrolink passes. Photo sharing is encouraged on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter using #OnceUponATrain
