The LOSSAN rail corridor stretches 351 miles from San Diego to San Luis Obispo, with the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner, freight, commuter, and long-distance trains sharing the tracks and certain stations. Ongoing construction projects keep the infrastructure in top condition and contribute to overall improvements in rail travel along the corridor. Larger projects require tracks or stations to be closed so crews can perform necessary work, which can temporarily affect train service.
Track Closures
Full Service to Resume Through San Clemente
Update Effective Monday, March 25, 2024
Full Pacific Surfliner service through San Clemente will resume starting Monday, March 25.
Following the January 24 track closure, our partners at OCTA and Metrolink worked to construct a 200 ft barrier wall to protect the tracks and passing trains from debris falling from the hillside above. More information on the construction project is available here.
Starting Monday, March 25:
- Trains operating to and from San Diego will no longer require a bus connection between Irvine and Oceanside
- 10 daily round trips will once again operate between Los Angeles and San Diego
PDF Timetable – Effective Mar. 25
NOTE: On Monday, March 25, Train 761 will originate in Los Angeles instead of San Diego as we move equipment in place to resume our full schedule.
Service Updates
BAGGAGE SERVICE SUSPENDED
Updated December 5, 2023
Funding limitations caused by extended track closures which were in place for an extended period have made it necessary to make temporary adjustments to the Pacific Surfliner service. We are doing all we can to preserve vital intercounty transportation connections and provide a travel experience that our passengers will enjoy.
The adjustments below are effective until further notice.
Checked baggage is not currently available on Pacific Surfliner trains. Luggage may still be carried and stored on board. You may bring two personal items that measure up to 14” x 11” x 7” each, and weigh up to 25 pounds each. You may also bring two carry-on bags that measure up to 28" x 22" x 11" each, and weigh up to 50 pounds each.
