Passengers stranded as glitch cancels Amtrak trains Hundreds of passengers were stranded over the weekend after a glitch in Amtrak's computer system canceled numerous trains. According to Amtrak officials, the cancellations were the result of a rail industry control system that has experienced intermittent communications issues. In Chicago, there are typically 24 outbound trains, but only one departed Saturday. Passengers were reportedly stranded in stations throughout Illinois, including in Chicago and Normal.
