PORTLAND, Ore.—Passengers stranded on an Amtrak train for more than a day in a remote and snowed-in part of Oregon said the train was moving again on Feb. 26, after it got stuck when it hit a tree that fell on the tracks.
“It’s just like relief. I’m just excited to get off of here,” Abbie Jeffrey, 16, told the KGW television station.
