BNSF uses the rails under a “shared-use agreement” that allows the freight company to make its own determination when its trains can run. Normally it operates about six trains daily to and from rail terminals at the Port of San Diego, carrying everything from new foreign cars to building supplies and wind turbine blades. A company spokesman did not respond to messages Tuesday.
One company, the Pasha Group, has its own 157-acre terminal at San Diego’s port, where it processes up to 400,000 vehicles annually, nearly all of which are shipped by rail.
“Our understanding is that one train for goods movement will operate daily through the corridor, although BNSF is also delivering riprap to the site, so there may be additional trains, all operating at reduced speeds through the area,” Orange County Transportation Authority spokesman Eric Carpenter said in an email Tuesday.
