The approximately six-week closure of Metrolink and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner train service is set to begin Monday, allowing crews to safely and efficiently conduct emergency repairs . ORANGE – 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 ...

Future costs for making the necessary improvements to ensure ongoing rail operations along the 7 miles of south Orange County coast would be identified through the study. The goals of the Phase II study include: Partnering with LOSSAN, state and federal agencies; Developing options for protecting, or potentially moving, the rail line

This collaborative approach ensures the selection of the most resilient and cost-effective solutions that would protect the rail line. Last fall, OCTA secured $305 million in state and federal funding, enabling the completion of design and construction for the Coastal Rail Stabilization Priority Project.

Nearly 70 trains each day travel along the BNSF rail line through Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia and that number is expected to increase more than 45 percent by 2030. The grade-separation projects enhance safety by separating car traffic from train traffic and also by reducing the risk of fire trucks, ambulances and other emergency vehicles ...

The OCTA and Metrolink team continues to work to resume safe passenger rail service as soon as possible. Over the past three years, San Clemente’s eroding bluffs – on both city and private property – have repeatedly forced the closure of the rail line which has operated largely uninterrupted for more than 125 years.

This position oversees digital marketing, social media content calendars, and email programs.

OCTA’s Coastal Rail Resiliency Study aims to evaluate and implement short- and medium-term strategies to protect the railway in the vulnerable 7-mile stretch between Dana Point and the San Diego County Line and to keep rail traffic moving through the area for up to the next 30 years, while longer-term solutions are explored.

The study will help identify strategies for reducing the risk to the rail line from flooding, mudslides, coastal surge and sea-level rise, among other potential climate-related conditions. ...
