NCTD and SANDAG are planning to start construction for the Del Mar Bluffs 2 Slope Stabilization project this fall.  As a result of this project, tentatively, the track will be out of service from 10 PM to 5 AM, Wednesday through Sunday night, for 6 to 9 months.  This outage will cause the cancellation of some late night/early morning trains into and out of San Diego.  More specifically, Amtrak will cancel their daily train that normally arrives in San Diego at 12:50 AM and will bus its passengers from Irvine directly to San Diego.  Depending on rail traffic congestion, BNSF will attempt to move one train in and one out of San Diego at mid-day and another inbound and outbound in the evenings.  BNSF trains departing San Diego may occur in the late night/morning hours only to move their trains to the Morena area, north of the San Diego River.
