Amtrak Train Derails Between Portland and Seattle
(Portland, OR) -- Officials are investigating the minor derailment of an Amtrak train traveling from Portland to Seattle. The Longview Daily News reports the train was going about 15 miles an hour Monday afternoon when a wheel came off the track. There were 95 people on board. The passengers were moved to a southbound Amtrak train and returned to Vancouver where they boarded buses for their trip to Seattle.
No one was hurt, but Amtrak, is still under a lot of scrutiny right now. The company is facing federal lawsuits following the deadly derailment of a train in Montana late last month.
