Amtrak train moving again after 183 passengers stranded in Oregon for days

An Amtrak train carrying 183 passengers that had been stranded in a remote area of Oregon since Sunday evening is now back in motion.

Traveling from Seattle to Los Angeles, Starlight Train 11 hit a tree that had fallen on the tracks near Oakridge, Ore., around 6 p.m. No one was injured, but because of the inclement winter weather there was no immediate way to safely evacuate those on the train.
