Conductor
Engine trouble and a crew that reached the end of its shift left dozens of Amtrak passengers stranded for several hours Wednesday before they were finally bused to Chicago.
Amtrak's Pere Marquette pulled into Holland from Grand Rapids at about 11:20 a.m., about three hours after it was scheduled to depart. But instead of continuing to Chicago, passengers were ushered off the train because its crew had reached the end of its maximum 12-hour work shift, which began on Tuesday night's Chicago-Grand Rapids run.
