Unknown as to why the responders didn't check the train schedule or have Dispatch call Metrolink. Departures from the Sylmar / San Fernando station (just a few miles away upline) to Union Station , according the the Sunday schedule around that time, look to be 12:42pm, 2:06pm and 3:51pm,. The timestamp on the police bodycam says 2:15pm so maybe they thought the 2:06 train has already passed? Metrolink has different schedules on M-F vs Sat. vs Sun.
