Passenger rail service remains unavailable to Orange County as landslide movement continues above tracks
Freight trains have resumed runs between San Diego and Orange counties, although passenger rail service remains suspended because of a landslide last week that threatens the tracks below a historic property in San Clemente.
Normally about 14 Metrolink and 22 Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains daily pass through San Clemente, a city official said. Oceanside is the most southernmost stop for Metrolink, which has routes through six Southern California counties. A firm hired by the city is conducting a geotechnical evaluation that will help determine the next steps. Soils throughout the region are sandy and poor, and remain saturated from winter rains, which has caused other landslides in San Clemente.
A hillside condominium building below the slide has been evacuated because of soil from the slide pushing against one wall. Most of the units are vacation rentals, and about eight have full-time residents. “Until that area is stabilized, we can’t do anything to protect Casa Romantica and the neighbors,” Cabral said.
