ONE TRACK MIND / LANDSLIDES CLOSE AMTRAK’S ICONIC SO. CALIF. ROUTE, AGAIN

Recently, Congress has allocated more than $50 million to repair landslide prone areas of Southern California railways.

AMTRAK’s popular Pacific Surfliner passenger route between San Diego and Los Angeles has temporarily shut down for at least the third time in as many years due to landslides on or near the tracks in the San Clemente CA area. Last week’s heavy rain storms along the California coast caused a landslide in San Clemente that damaged the Mariposa Trail bridge and rail service between Orange and San Diego Counties. No time has been given as to a return to service.
