Dumpster fire that also burned a small office.  Large contingent of firefighters probably prevent more damage.

I realize LAX has been borrowed from the airlines to be the code for LA Union Station, but couldn't you drop the 'X'?

I much prefer LAPT (the"U" has been dropped) to LAX; Amtrak uses "LAX" as its 3-letter abbreviation for the station.
