Emergency work to repair rail lines damaged by the storms hitting the Tri-Counties are continuing. But, it could be at least two weeks before passenger train service resumes between Goleta and San Luis Obispo.
The tracks have been closed west of Goleta for the repair work. Amtrak passengers are being taken around the closure by bus. The buses take northbound passengers to San Luis Obispo, and the Bay Area.
The agency which oversees Amtrak Pacific Surfliner service reports that rail service on the Central and South Coasts should be fully restored the week of February 13.
