Tonya Brown and some fellow New Orleans evacuees feared they were headed toward another disaster.
As Amtrak's Texas Eagle rumbled through southern Jefferson County toward San Antonio about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, the train hit rocks, apparently from a rock slide.
Brown, 22, a hair dresser, felt the jolt as she was saying her evening prayers. Her two children, Jeremiah, 7, and Tamiah, 17 months, were asleep on the seats beside her.
The full story from the St. Lous Post-Dispatch.
