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. 4 1 OF TRA T NS EN P M O T R T R A A T P I O E N D U N A I T C E I D R S E T AM ATES OF 4 Toll Lanes to Orange County V San Luis 2 a n Rey River d e C g o r l i l f e t g 1 B e E l l B v d C lv . a d m U.S. Marine 5 . i 76 n Oceanside Base o Vista R e e Camp v a A l n Pendleton io iss d.

  • South Palo Alto Tunnel with At-Grade Freight
    RAIL FACT SHEETS South Palo Alto Tunnel with At-Grade Freight About the Tunnel with At-Grade Freight For the tunnel alternative, the railroad tracks will be lowered in a trench south of Oregon Expressway to approximately Loma Verde Avenue. The twin bore tunnel will begin near Loma Verde Avenue and extend to just south of Charleston Road. The railroad tracks will then be raised in trench to approximately Ferne Avenue. The new electrified southbound railroad tracks will be built at the same horizontal location as the existing railroad track, however, the northbound track will be moved to the east within the limits of the tunnel to accommodate the spacing required between the twin bores. The railroad tracks in the trench and tunnel will carry only passenger trains. The freight trains will remain at-grade. The roadways at Meadow Drive and Charleston Road remain at their existing grade and will have a similar configuration that exists today with the addition of Class II buffered bike lanes on Charleston Road. This will require expanding the width of the road to maintain bike lanes through the overpass of the railroad. By the numbers Neighborhood Considerations • Diameter of twin bores is 30 feet. • Alma Street will permanently be reduced to one lane • Railroad track is designed for 110 mph. in each direction from south of Oregon Expressway to Ventura Avenue and from Charleston Road to Ferne • Meadow Drive and Charleston Road are Avenue. designed for 25 mph. • The train tracks will be approximately 70 feet below the Proposed Ground Level View - Looking Southwest • Maximum grade on railroad is 2%.
