“The contractor is working on the final design,” he said. “The right-of-way and permitting processes also are being finalized.

More than 18,000 tons of rock were placed along the beach after storms caused beach erosion in September 2021. Passenger rail service was suspended for about three weeks during that work. In San Diego County, BNSF primarily serves the rail terminals at the Port of San Diego, carrying everything from new foreign cars to building supplies and wind turbine blades. One shipping company, the Pasha Group, has its own 157-acre terminal at the port, where it processes up to 400,000 vehicles annually, nearly all of which arrive on ships and are taken out of San Diego by rail.
SANDAG and NCTD, like Orange County transit officials, are focusing on safeguarding the tracks where they are.
