After a week of silence along the steel spine of the Gaviota Coast, trains are once again moving.
Rail service through the Gaviota area has been restored, according to Union Pacific Railroad , ending a suspension that began January 6 after storm damage compromised the tracks and injured a worker.
“Rail service has been restored in the Gaviota, California area,” said Mike Jaixen, Union Pacific’s senior manager of communications, in an email to the Santa Barbara Independent on Tuesday.
