How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The old train station Ellie passes in the game's last chapter, in a Santa Barbara taken over by the Rattlers.
The real place
Santa Barbara's railway station, with its Mission Revival arches, dates from the early 1900s and is still served by Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner and Coast Starlight trains. It sits at the bottom of State Street, which the game's Santa Barbara chapter also follows.
Visiting
Arrive by train along the coast from Los Angeles. From the station, walk down to Stearns Wharf and the beach, or up State Street into the old town.
