Amtrak Trains Stuck Since Friday Night

This is what the Obamatons think you should give up your car for.

Passengers on Amtrak's Cardinal service (Train 51) heading toward Chicago, Illinois from New York have been stranded in West Virginia since approximately 8:00 pm due to last night's storms, Jalopnik can confirm. Amtrak says 232 passengers were on board when downed trees forced them to stop. It'll be another few hours before some of them are able to move again on buses, while others are stuck on the train for an indefinite amount of time.

Considering that train toilets empty directly onto the tracks beneath them, it must be getting pretty ripe by now.
