Cause of Amtrak train delay this morning still unclear

PONTIAC, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Passengers using Amtrak’s Wolverine Train 351 from Pontiac to Chicago were delayed for hours this morning in Pontiac

Shortly after 7:00 a.m. the company then said the train was delayed to due a trespasser incident involving another train. Passengers finally got going around 8:15 a.m. more than two hours behind schedule.

According to Amtrak, major stops for the train include Detroit, Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, and Chicago.
