The Amtrak train hit a tree that had fallen onto the tracks and got stuck in the snow in Oakridge, Oregon, south of Eugene. The train is now being pulled by a Union Pacific locomotive back toward Eugene. The train left Seattle Feb. 24 at
9:45 a.m. heading to Los Angeles. None of the 180 passengers or roughly one dozen crew members were injured. Tim McMahan, Union Pacific, via statement Roads were closed in the area
due to winter storms, making it difficult to reach
the stranded train. Marc Magliari, Amtrak, via statement
