With the Metrolink commuter trains to Los Angeles, Amtrak passenger trains, plus lots of freight traffic you only have to wait a few minutes to see some kind of railroading activity at this location. And since you're in the Harbor Village at Oceanside Harbor, food, beverages, and lot of shopping are just a few short steps away.
Metrolink runs 6 trains each way on weekdays and 4 each way on weekends. Amtrak operates 10 trains each way on weekdays and 8 each way on weekends.
While freight traffic is unscheduled, this is the only mainline freight corridor serving San Diego so there is some freight traffic interspersed with the passenger-oriented trains, while most of the freight moves during the night hours when there is little passenger traffic to interfere.
