Coastal trains in San Clemente will be running again on Monday after a landslide closed a 7-mile stretch of rail for about two months. A Jan. 24 landslide on private property above the city-owned Mariposa Trail Pedestrian Bridge led to debris on the tracks, which halted all Metrolink and Amtrak passenger rail service.
