LAX to San Diego service interrupted again. - Trains Magazine

The line was abandoned early in its lifetime for worse damage problems.  The SD&AE also is earthquake prone, but as a fan, I'de like to see it rebuilt.

Same here and you would think it also makes logical sense to build a line due East from San Diego over the mountains to connect in Arizona for shipments to KC, Chicago and Eastwards versus a 3 hour dogleg to Los Angeles.   Yet nobody wants to put the money down to do it.
