Months after coastal erosion shut down a section of track, Metrolink and Pacific Surfliner passenger service will resume through South Orange County this Saturday morning.
Construction, which is led by the Orange County Transportation Authority in partnership with Metrolink, has continued daily since the work began in late April.
Crews were placing large boulders — also called riprap — throughout the project areas. The rock was sorted and placed primarily within the area where riprap previously placed to protect against coastal erosion.
The amount of riprap needed to successfully complete the reinforcement was less than what was initially called for in construction plans, OCTA said.
“Pedestrians and others traveling through the area near the rail line are asked to remember that trains will be running again soon and to be cautious around the tracks, crossing only at designated pedestrian and road crossings — always stay off the tracks,” the transportation authority added.
Over the past four years, San Clemente’s eroding bluffs — on both city and private property — have repeatedly forced the closure of the rail line, which had previously operated largely uninterrupted for more than 125 years.
As the services resume normal schedules, Pacific Surfliner– — the Amtrak link through Southern California to San Diego — and Metrolink passengers are asked to check for the latest updates online.
