2:40 p.m.: Amtrak just rolled past, westbound, with its three locomotives, two baggage cars, and nine passenger cars led by a UP engine. It would have been here at 10 a.m. if not for the concrete truck on the tracks near Derby Dam.
The truck is trashed, and so is the front of the lead locomotive, as shown by photos on the Reno TV stations web sites.
Amtrak said the truck was on the crossing first. Oops.
Minor injuries, the TV stations said.
The 78 passengers will have something to talk about when Donner Lake's scenery gets boring.
