183 passengers headed from Seattle to LA have been stuck in the train in the mountains south of Eugene since Sunday, over 30 hours. Nearly a foot of snow has fallen in southern Oregon and the tracks are blocked by snow and fallen trees.
They had enough food to last until this morning and fortunately the electricity in the train is still on. Passengers say it's been a big "kumbaya party."
Amtrak said just a few minutes ago that the train is reversing back north now but it will be slow going. The passengers can't be picked up by buses because all local roads are blocked. This is record snow for that area, they usually get around one inch in February, not a foot.
