Orange Line Trolley full service resumes after flood damage
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Full service along the Orange Line Trolley returned to normal Friday after last month’s flooding, according to the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS).
MTS said the trolley was unable to serve two stations along the Orange Line since Jan. 22 due to extensive damage to a retaining wall at 65th St. and Imperial Avenue.
