William Bradley is a native of upstate New York. After graduating from Syracuse University with a degree in public communications, he migrated to a place he always found fascinating: Southern California. There, working for a small publisher of railroad books, he had the opportunity to absorb the history and lore of railroading, writing two books: The Last of the Great Stations and Commercial Los Angeles: Photographs from the “Dick” Whittington Collection. With Los Angeles Union Station: Tracks to the Future, William is happy to return to the world of Los Angeles’s Union Station.
