Burlington Northern Santa Fe operates freight rail services.
Why Improve LOSSAN’s Services along the I-5 NCC? SANDAG’s 2030 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) calls for a double-tracked LOSSAN corridor in order to meet current and fu- ture demand. Currently, 51% of the San Diego corridor is a single rail track that freight and passenger trains share. Sharing the track leads to delays and also constrains the hours of operation for each type of service. Due to the tremendous increase in popu- lation, tourism and economic growth within the I-5 NCC, double Amtrak services on the LOSSAN Rail Corridor support intercity tracking the LOSSAN corridor will help it meet current and future passenger travel between San Diego and Los Angeles. demand, and decrease delays and schedule confl icts between the operators. LOSSAN station improvements to parking, shuttle services and equipment are also planned.
The proposed improvements to LOSSAN in the I-5 NCC would enhance:
reliability travel times ridership travel options safety carrying capacity by providing more trains
The following page lists the proposed improvements to LOSSAN within the I-5 NCC. Freight services on the LOSSAN Rail Corridor support San Diego’s goods movement from the Port of San Diego and the Los Angeles area.
