Overview

The four reinforcement areas identified in the Coastal Rail Resiliency Study adjacent to the Orange County Transportation Authority-owned railroad right-of-way, in the vicinity of Mile Post 203.83 to 204.40 and 206.10 to 206.70 on the Orange Subdivision, has continued to experience coastal erosion and the hillside continues to move incrementally, posing an imminent threat to the railroad corridor and public safety if immediate necessary actions are not taken to mitigate the threat. Measures must be taken immediately to stabilize the track and maintain passenger and freight rail service.
