On short notice like this? It's always buses. But to/from where can only be known after things get set up and Amtrak speaks.
Southbound Starlight (11) has vanished from Amtrak's status screens with a "service disruption" message. Oakland CA arrival is usually around 0830. Sacramento is usually around 0630. So with the wreck happening before 0600 there would have been time to hold it there - but unless Amtrak announces something we can't know, and frankly Sacramento has too many trains and too few tracks to have one taken up for a long time with a parked Starlight.
If you were planning on riding Amtrak between the Bay Area or Sacramento and LA today, hope you're on a San Joaquin.
