Completion of hillside tie-backs at San Clemente pushed to March; costs likely to exceed $12 million
Inclement weather has further delayed efforts to stabilize a landslide beneath the railroad tracks at San Clemente, where work has suspended passenger service between Orange and San Diego counties since September.
Freight service has continued at reduced frequency and slow speeds across the site just north of the San Diego County border. Freight trains travel at night and until recently proceeded at 10 mph through the repair area only after an engineer and a flagger have walked ahead, Beil said. In addition to installing the anchors, work crews have added more boulders to the rock revetment on the beach at the base of the slope.
Two people representing the San Clemente group Save Our Beaches criticized the agency Monday for building the wall of anchors and the rock revetment. Studies show such devices reduce the size of the beach and may contribute to erosion. The coastal railroad is the only route for passenger and freight trains between San Diego and the rest of the United States. The 350-mile LOSSAN corridor between San Diego, Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo is one of the nation’s busiest rail routes.
