BNSF Railway is replacing 12,000 railroad ties between Fullerton and Riverside from Sunday, May 22 until Thursday, May 26. Tie replacement is done as general maintenance to ensure safe rail operations.

As a result, on Sunday, May 22, Metrolink 91 Line train 754 will only operate between Los Angeles Union Station and Fullerton. Passengers will be accommodated with alternate bus service to Corona and Riverside.  

Also, during the week of Monday, May 23, all trains on the Inland Empire-Orange County Line and the 91 Line may encounter delays of up to 30 minutes. The service delays will likely occur through Thursday when the project concludes.

Residents near the tracks will hear increased activity, including intermittent construction noise such as equipment and vehicles, due to the BNSF project at night. Additionally, train horns will be blown, due to a federal rule requiring horns as a safety precaution when workers are present.
