In the city of Del Mar, near San Diego, most agree the train tracks must move off eroding bluffs. But debate over its new route has stalled the project while climate change raises the risks.
I used to ride that train route from a few stops south of there to visit my Dad in L.A. 10-15 years ago. Absolutely gorgeous and relaxing train ride. I always wondered when they would have to move the tracks.
Side note, I took the train instead of driving because So Cal and more specifically greater L.A. traffic was/is so horrible. On a decent day, I could make the drive in 2.5 to 3 hours battling traffic. Instead, I often chose the 4-hour train ride for the beauty and relaxation. There were a couple times when there were accidents, like someone trying to beat a train ahead of us across the tracks. Which delayed the train a few hours, but it was still better than driving.
