Repairs to the coastal tracks that had been shifted out of alignment by pounding surf and a sliding hillside are about done.
After half a year of work to secure a coastal bluff along a key stretch of track, passenger trains are expected to resume full service through San Clemente starting on April 17.
OCTA declared an emergency following the damage – the second time the tracks had shifted in a year – and began a $13.7 million project to stop the slope movement and stabilize the rail line. The California Transportation Commission contributed $6 million in emergency funding to help cover that cost. The tracks moved 28 inches between September 2021 and September 2022 because of storm surge and sand erosion on the coastal side and the gradually sliding hillside on the other, OCTA officials have said.
For inlanders, it means they can again take the coastal train down to south San Clemente and on into the San Diego area.
