Metrolink Pacific Surfliner railroad in San Clemente closes as intense weather crashes coast

Comments

1. Mirage Comet: what was wrong with the existing infrastructure that this couldn't be avoided?
2. Danelarsen: not surprised they're getting hit again, hope the repairs are done right this time
3. Theopetrov: I'm surprised they didn't have more notice given the storm's trajectory last week - were there contingency plans in place for this route specifically?
4. Sana: scenic routes are meant to be scenic, not disaster zones I hope no one was hurt
5. Wexmarek: i've been on that route, what's the deal with sudden closures like this?
6. Kiana: screw scenic routes when the ocean's trying to eat them
7. Mirage Shard: don't trains always get washed out in those kinds of storms anyway
8. Lena: this is why they should've done flood-proofing years ago
9. Arlo: i still remember when they did emergency repairs after that big mudslide near LA several years ago - hope this damage isn't as extensive and passengers stay safe
10. Static Drift: i wonder if they have to refund people who bought tickets recently, or how this is going to affect commuters in the short term
11. Selim: not exactly what I'd call emergency repairs, considering this is a major tourist route
12. Eliasrana: finally some decent weather drama this side of the country
13. Sharmaamir: saw a video from 2018 of that line getting hit by rough seas and nothing much got damaged. Not sure what the problem is this time
14. Solar Warden: Who needs tourist cash when you've got hurricane-induced train trouble
15. Neon Serpent: haven't they been dealing with storms on the west coast for weeks now?
16. Cleor: it looks like all those recent rainstorms really did a number on that route
17. Marek: never get tired of seeing trains deal with crazy weather but this is just brutal hope the repairs go smoothly
18. Cleo: Not that I mind a break from the crowds, but wasn't this route one of the nicest parts about riding?
19. 🍇 Vidar Volkov: train derails and it's just a maintenance stop, now this is a thing...)
