Description
Another landslide in the San Clemente area forced a renewed halt in rail service through southern Orange County Monday. Pacific Surfliner service is also stopped between Irvine and Oceanside.
The tracks used by Metrolink and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains were closed Monday morning between San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano as crews inspected what appeared to be another significant movement of dirt on the hillside overlooking the tracks, just below the Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens. This same slope caused a temporary disruption in service in May 2023.
Some of the mud and rocks wound up abutting the train tracks. Amtrak Pacific Surfliner's website says the tracks will reopen once the debris has been cleared and it is determined safe to operate trains through the area.
