San Clemente Landslide Halts Railroad Link to San Diego Again.

A new landslide at San Clemente has halted all rail traffic between San Diego and Orange counties, suspending all Metrolink and Amtrak passenger service and BNSF freight service. This is the latest in a string of rail closures due to a crumbling coastline that has disrupted commerce and commuter traffic. The closure is below Casa Romantica, a historic property built in the 1920s and now owned by the city of San Clemente and used as a cultural and events center. No estimate was available for when the tracks would reopen or what may be necessary to safeguard the slope.
