Thoose evicted are not homeless. They are squatters, pure and simple.

“were offered a place at a local shelter but they reportedly refused.”

The railroad should pay the salary for one full time employee to hereafter monitor the property and call the Sanata Ana police to come kick out every trespasser every time anyone starts to camp there. Once those encampments quit happening because of the constant surveilance and calls to the police, that one railroad employee can be redeployed to another area of track line where such encampments are going on.
I’d like to say that Santa Ana could be sued for not doing a good job of always going in and kicking out campers along the rails. But even though the property is publicly accessible, the city will argue it is private party and the railroad ought to build high fences all along it. Yet again, even if the railroad did that, the fences would get broken in enough places and folks would trek back into the area.
Maybe the city and the railroad could make peace with some sort of “contract” the railroad makes for greater police protection of the areas along the tracks.

How many times are they going to clean up those areas? Seems to be the story every year.
