Amtrak Passengers Cheer When Train Moves After Being Stuck for Over a Day
February 26, 2019
Nearly 200 people who were stuck on an Amtrak train for 36 hours are finally on the move after being trapped on a snowy stretch of track just south of Eugene, Oregon. All 183 passengers and 12 crew members became trapped in the snow on board the train on Sunday. It's the Coast Starlight from Seattle to Los Angeles and one of America’s most spectacular train rides in good weather. Amtrak crews had to clear 40 miles of track blocked by snow and fallen trees to reach them.
