San Clemente Track Closure

Metrolink and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner passenger rail service through San Clemente will be suspended beginning Monday, April 28, to allow for crews to safely conduct emergency construction aimed at stabilizing sections of track at immediate risk from landslides and coastal erosion.

Passenger rail service is expected to be suspended for approximately six weeks, while crews work to repair and reinforce the most vulnerable segments of the track. The closure affects both Metrolink’s Orange County and Inland Empire-Orange County lines.

  • Metrolink Orange County Line & Inland Empire-Orange County Line trains will originate & terminate at the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo Station throughout the track closure.
    • Metrolink trains will NOT operate to San Juan Capistrano on the weekends
    • There will be no alternate bus transportation during the service suspension

Amtrak Pacific Surfliner will continue to operate modified service between San Luis Obispo and San Juan Capistrano, as well as between Oceanside and Downtown San Diego. Bus connections will be provided between Irvine and Oceanside. Customers should go to pacificsurfliner.com/alerts for the latest schedule information and updates.

BNSF Railway will continue to operate through the corridor at night during the passenger rail service suspension.
