“Between the sea, the sand and the earth, there has been some movement of the railroad tracks, we will be working to make sure they are safe for all rail traffic going through the corridor,” Metrolink spokesperson Paul Gonzales told the Register.

Metrolink service is being suspended to the San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente and Oceanside stations. Service will operate only as far south as the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo station. There will be no alternate bus service to San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente and Oceanside.
