Landslide in San Clemente Halts Train Service Indefinitely

Engineering teams are working to ensure safety, while passengers face lengthy delays and potential cancellations.

Another landslide in San Clemente has temporarily suspended passenger train service by Amtrak and Metrolink from Orange County south to San Diego.
The landslide was reported at 4:26 p.m. on Wednesday, causing boulders and other debris to fall onto the tracks along the Mariposa Trail Bridge in San Clemente.
Engineering teams are working with Orange County Transportation Authority and city of San Clemente officials to ensure the railroad right of way is safe for travel.
Rep. Mike Levin is scheduled to announce major funding to secure the bluffs and relocate sections of the rail track on Thursday.
Passengers were stranded for hours due to the service disruption, with some expressing frustration at the frequent landslides and subsequent service suspensions.
