24 hours my ass. I take the train all the time. Who is ever in charge should be fired. This is absurd. Spotty cell phone coverage. BS. Was the train full? They don't say what area. They don't say if it was a northbound or southbound train.
here we are:
Amtrak’s Coast Starlight train left Seattle for Los Angeles early Sunday but hit a tree in Oakridge, Oregon, about 6:20 p.m. Oakridge is about 45 miles (72 kilometers) southeast of Eugene.
45 miles and it takes 24 hours.
Exactly how many trees were on the tracks?
