San Diego-bound Amtrak train runs out of fuel
From the Associated Press

It was the little engine that couldn't.
A quick train trip down the coast turned into a long haul for dozens of
stranded Amtrak passengers when their train from Los Angeles to San Diego
ran out of fuel late Sunday night.
Amtrak spokesman Cliff Cole says the train sat for about two hours in the
Sorrento Valley neighborhood in northern San Diego before another engine
came along to push it to its final destination. It arrived early this morning.
Cole says a train running out of fuel is "an unusual occurrence" and Amtrak
officials will be looking into how it happened later today.
