Pacific Surfliner Returns To Reconnect Orange And San Diego Counties
The Pacific Surfliner resumes service on Monday
(
Amtrak Pacific Surfliner
)
Topline:
The Amtrak Pacific Surfliner is back in service on Monday after another round of repairs.
The backstory: Repeated landslides undermining the tracks in the San Clemente area have interrupted Amtrak service over the past few months. Daily train service through South Orange County is back on starting Monday, and extra trains will be added to the schedule Friday through the weekend to accommodate crowds heading to Comic-Con, X-Games and Del Mar horse racing.
When the train was out, shuttle buses were taking passengers around the repairs happening on the track, close to the San Clemente Pier.
