Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Two years ago Sunday, 25 Metrolink passengers died when their train hit a Union Pacific freight train in Chatsworth. The Metrolink engineer was texting at the time of the accident. The wreck spurred an exhaustive investigation into the incident, along with a huge staffing and safety overhaul. Two years later, Metrolink wants to show that it's now safer and more reliable.
