JENISON --Amtrak this morning was forced to use buses and cabs to transport passengers between Grand Rapids and Holland because a CSX Railroad car had derailed Wednesday on tracks 12 miles west of Grand Rapids, Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said. This morning Amtrak bused 74 passengers from Grand Rapids to the Holland train station. On Wednesday night, passengers returning from Chicago to Grand Rapids were delayed while Amtrak brought buses in from Kalamazoo. Some passengers found their own way home, and others took taxis at Amtrak expense. CSX expected to have repairs completed this morning, he said.
