Amtrak train from Chicago was stuck in Ottumwa Friday night

 

OTTUMWA- An Amtrak California Zephyr train that departed from Chicago's Union Station on Friday carrying nearly 300 passengers was stuck in Ottumwa until Saturday evening. The train, Amtrak No. 5, first was stuck in Ottumwa because of "washed-out" track conditions following storms according to Vernae Graham, an Amtrak spokeswoman, who said Saturday night the tracks had to be repaired.

The Zephyr had left Chicago at 2 p.m. Friday. It was stopped in Iowa at 11:30 p.m. and got back en route just before 7 p.m. Saturday.
