Other than Union Station in LA there really isn't a central train hub anywhere between LA and San Diego. And the Amtrak station that was already in place in Anaheim was useless to begin with and was in dire need of replacement. Of course it is stupid without any lines other than going to and from LA - San Diego - Santa Barbara, so I will give you that.
