Source: DuKai photographer / Getty Amtrack Passengers Left Stranded For 40 Hours Amtrack is issuing an apology to passengers who went through a scary situation on one of their locomotives. Passengers traveling to Seattle, Washington from Portland, Oregon were stuck on the tracks since Sunday when their train hit a tree that had fallen on the tracks. NBC reports that the passengers were stuck for nearly 40 hours and complained of panic attacks and screaming babies. “There has been so little communication from Amtrak. I am very disappointed,” said Kim Shelton who was stuck onboard with her daughter and spoke to “Today.” We’ve had two people have anxiety, heart-related issues. We have just had to take care of each other. There has been no help from outside.” Kim Shelton, one of the 183 passengers and crew members trapped on board a stalled Amtrak train in Oregon for 36 hours and counting, joins TODAY by phone to recount the harrowing experience. pic.twitter.com/iR6JdhJXsg — TODAY (@TODAYshow) February 26, 2019 None of the 183 passengers on board were hurt and Amtrak expressed regret over the incident.
