The rail service suspension is in effect while emergency stabilization work is done on sections of track that are at immediate risk from landslides and cliff erosion.

A critical railroad track used to get trains between Los Angeles and San Diego is shutting down for several weeks so crews can address coastal erosion and landslides.
