The COE isn't fixing the washout. Since "waters of the US" are involved the Corps has to issue a permit. The permit requires a NEPA document. The NEPA document requires studies. Ergo, process that takes a while. Not to mention the need for enough information to do a decently-engineered solution. Surprised the Coastal Commission hasn't stuck its nose in (or has it, and Howard hasn't reported on it yet?).
That said, if it were a real operating railroad, it probably could have claimed some kind of emergency exemption to restore service.
