Coastal Rail Line Closed for Routine Maintenance October 22-23, 2022

DB
Planned weekend rail closure allows crews to perform rail line improvements,
regular maintenance and emergency repairs

Oceanside, CA – There will be no COASTER service in San Diego County this weekend on Saturday, October 22, 2022 and Sunday October 23, 2022, to facilitate regular maintenance and infrastructure improvements along the coastal rail corridor.

Weekend closures like these, referred to as Absolute Work Windows (AWWs), occur periodically during the year on a pre-determined schedule. AWWs provide construction crews the opportunity to work safely and unimpeded on and along the rail line to perform improvements and maintenance work.

No replacement bus service connecting COASTER stations will be available. Alternatives for some COASTER passengers may include BREEZE Route 101 or MTS connections.

After this weekend’s closure, COASTER will resume regularly scheduled service on Monday, October 24, 2022. Passengers should note that trains may be delayed up to fifteen minutes on Monday.

While no passenger rail service will be available during this weekend closure, other vehicles and equipment will operate along the railroad right-of-way and on the rail at non-specified times. Residents along the corridor should remain alert at legal crossings, and not trespass on the railroad right-of-way.

Customers are urged to plan ahead and make alternative travel arrangements. For trip planning assistance, customers can visit GoNCTD.com or contact North County Transit District (NCTD) Customer Service at 760-966-6500.

Also of note, coastal rail service remains suspended north of the NCTD service area. Metrolink suspended Orange County Line and Inland Empire-Orange County Line service south of the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo Station and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains will not operate between Irvine and San Diego. COASTER service is not affected by the Orange County rail closure.
