Precipitating Incident: The ground moved considerably during a storm. The last day of service on the track was September 15, 2021 (https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/transportation/story/2021-09-16/metrolink-to-suspend-service-to-oceanside-station-for-track-work).

At the time, people predicted that passenger service would resume in "mid-December" or "mid-January" (https://metrolinktrains.com/rider-info/general-info/service-updates/). In reality, the only passenger service at this time runs on the weekend when no construction workers are around.

The freight railroad (BNSF) is also running at night throughout the week.

On January 23, 2023, Metrolink predicted that construction would end in "late March".

Question will resolve when Amtrak or Metrolink run trains throughout the day. It will resolve even if construction workers are still near the tracks and causing Amtrak or Metrolink to use a modified schedule.
