Winter weather is causing more headaches travelers by train. These passengers finally arrived in Grand Rapids Monday afternoon more than 15 hours after leaving Union Station in Chicago. The train left around 5:00 p.m. central time Sunday night, but passengers were stuck on board when it was forced to stop for hours in Holland. Frustrated passengers say there was little communication during the trip and say several other unexpected stops took place. Amtrak officials say the weather and a broken rail caused the delays.
