The Californer/10211984

Emergency maintenance in the San Clemente area will close portions of the track until further notice

ORANGE, Calif., Sept. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Los Angeles – San Diego – San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Rail Corridor Agency, which manages the Amtrak® Pacific Surfliner® service, has temporarily suspended service south of Irvine until further notice for emergency track repairs.

Consultations with geologists, geotechnical engineers, and surveyors revealed that there may be a safety concern along a portion of track in the San Clemente area. The LOSSAN Agency made the decision to immediately stop service to ensure passenger and crew safety.

During the closure, the San Clemente Pier and San Juan Capistrano stations will remain closed while the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), who owns that portion of the track, conducts emergency maintenance to stabilize the right-of-way.
