"A state Senate subcommittee met for the first time Tuesday for an overview of the crumbling 351-mile LOSSAN corridor, San Diego’s only railroad link to Los Angeles and the rest of the United States.
Transit officials described about seven places in four coastal California counties where eroding beaches, unstable cliffs and sliding hillsides threaten the railroad tracks, which provide vital passenger, freight and military transportation.
“The rail corridor has never been in more jeopardy,” said Sen. Catherine Blakespear, D- Encinitas, chair of the Senate Transportation Subcommittee on LOSSAN Rail Corridor Efficiency. “In the southern portion, the train is not running, or running very infrequently ... We have an urgent, urgent problem.”"
Hearing held on dire state of San Diego's coastal tracks
