LOS ANGELES — After two days of disruptions, train service interrupted by downed power lines between Los Angeles and the City of Commerce is set to resume.
Amtrak is showing that the eastbound Southwest Chief departing LA today (Jan. 28) will serve its stops at Fullerton and Riverside, Calif., after two days in which trains were rerouted and skipped those stops. And Pacific Surfliner service, which has seen full or partial cancellations the last two days, is reporting train No. 595, the 9:01 p.m. departure from San Diego for Los Angeles, will operate between Fullerton and LA as scheduled. Otherwise, regular Surfliner service will resume on Wednesday, Jan. 29.
Also, commuter rail operator Metrolink — which suspended operation on its Riverside, 91/Perris Valley, and Orange County lines Monday and today — says service will resume on Wednesday, Jan. 29.
KCBS-TV reports that the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has had crews working overtime to repair damaged towers that carried the power lines above the LA River and the rail lines.
