PLACER COUNTY—
A small rockslide left a Roseville-bound Amtrak train stopped and its passengers stranded behind a Union Pacific train near Auburn for several hours Friday evening.
The trains were stopped since 5:30 p.m. Friday. Union Pacific spokesperson Aaron Hunt says crews hope to have the tracks cleaned up and the trains moving again around 7:20 p.m.
Hunt also said that Union Pacific had mechanical problems on one of their trains, which caused delays for Union Pacifc and Amtrak for about 45 minutes earlier in the day.
