LOS ANGELES–Metrolink will operate a limited schedule August 12-13 due to required railroad maintenance.

On Saturday, Aug. 12, all San Bernardino Line service will operate on a Sunday schedule, which is fewer trains. On both Saturday and Sunday, buses will transport passengers between the Rancho Cucamonga and San Bernardino stations. Riders can anticipate delays as buses stop at connecting stations along the San Bernardino Line.

In addition to the impact to Metrolink riders, this project may affect homes and businesses near the work. Some examples may include:

  • Noise from heavy machinery and from equipment backup alarms.
  • Light from generators will be used for nighttime activities.
  • Traffic detours at Sierra Avenue and Juniper Avenue between Orange Way and Ceres Avenue. Use Citrus Avenue and Mango Avenue via East Foothill Boulevard and Merrill Avenue.

Metrolink schedules railroad track maintenance to ensure a continued safe environment and reliability.
