The line that passes through San Clemente closed in April due to a threat caused by an expanding landslide.
Passenger rail service was set to resume Saturday between San Diego and Orange counties following a month-long emergency closure caused by a landslide in San Clemente.
Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner rail line and Metrolink’s commuter line were set to reopen as the majority of work needed to stabilize a slope near the tracks has been completed, the Orange County Transportation Authority announced Friday.through the corridor was halted because of a landslide originating on the slope behind the Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens patio in San Clemente.
The slide did not cause any damage to the railroad tracks, but the rail line closed so the hillside could be stabilized and debris that fell at track level could be cleared, officials said. The slide was thought to be caused by a combination of poor soil in the area weakened by heavy rain this past winter.
The last closure was caused by a recurring landslide two miles south on a bluff below the Cyprus Shore community, which began gradually moving again last fall. The line remained closed from Sept. 30 to April 17 during a $13.7-million stabilization project to drill steel anchors more than 130 feet deep into the bedrock.
