Passenger train service remains suspended between San Diego and Orange counties as stabilization project proceeds
Work crews began staging heavy equipment Monday for a wall to be built along the railroad tracks in San Clemente, where a landslide continues to prevent passenger train service between San Diego and Orange counties.
North County Transit District continues to provide Coaster commuter service between Oceanside and San Diego, and some Amtrak trains have a bus connection to take passengers around the closed section of track between the stations at Oceanside and Irvine. The wall will be between 250 feet and 300 feet long and 12 feet to15 feet high, but that may be adjusted during the design and construction, he said. Unforeseen conditions such as the possible need for underground drilling could slow or delay progress.
The slope is still settling, but has shown no significant movement over the past week, said Jim Beil, executive director of capital programs, in a presentation Monday to the OCTA board of directors.“The city is still working on their stabilization plan, which will be done in multiple phases over an extended period of time,” Beil said.
