Waves Threaten Train Tracks Near San Diego | San Diego News
Description
Big waves and high tides are wreaking havoc on California’s coastal train lines, forcing Metrolink and Pacific Surfliner services to shut down as gravel foundations buckle near San Clemente Pier. Experts warn this is just the beginning—rising swells from distant storms and an increased risk of tropical systems could spell disaster for rail infrastructure, especially the vulnerable 1.7-mile stretch near Del Mar. Amtrak’s on high alert, with emergency gear ready as warm waters and relentless waves threaten tracks north of San Diego. Train service could be disrupted through Thursday—a sobering reminder of nature’s power and the urgent need for climate-resilient infrastructure.
