International Tunnel burns again since trains have not used it since 2009

From PSRM:
March 2019
No further progress has been made on the track and tunnel repairs between Division and Tecate. At this point, we do not have a timeline for restoring service to Tecate due to the track conditions and several other outside factors.
September 2017
Since our last update, much has happened to the Desert Line. With a new lease agreement in place, BJRR has taken over control of the entire Desert Line from the Pacific Imperial Railroad Company.
With that said, BJRR is now organizing plans to rebuild the line between the US/Mexico border at Division and El Centro, CA.
This process is slated to take several years to complete. You can read more about the reconstruction plans here on BJRR’s website.
Since our last update, the now daylighted Tunnel 3 has fallen victim to several land slides along the sides of the old tunnel and contractors are working to clear it once more for rail travel.
The western portal of Tunnel 4 has still not been rebuilt. We are hopeful that over the next year, sufficient work will have been made to restore service to Tecate.
2009
As many of you may know, railroad tunnel #3 between the U.S.-Mexico border and the city of Tecate burned and collapsed in mid-2009.
No need to "guess" , Jose.
