A landslide April 28 damaged the historic Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens in San Clemente and sent debris cascading onto railroad tracks. (Gary Coronado / Los Angeles Times)Metrolink and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains resumed service through Orange County on Saturday after rail traffic was partially suspended due to a landside in San Clemente last month. Crews completed emergency construction to stabilize the hillside below the Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens and cleared debris from the tracks, allowing Metrolink trains to resume travel to and from Oceanside on the Orange County and Inland Empire-Orange County lines, according to a service advisory. Metrolink trains were operating on a Saturday schedule due to the Memorial Day holiday and were set to resume regular weekday service Tuesday. The construction also enabled daily Pacific Surfliner trains to resume service, with trains to and from San Diego no longer requiring a bus connection between Irvine and Oceanside.
