Family of Deceased Passenger Speaks Out: "Amtrak's Reassurances Were Empty Promises"
Grandmother's Freezing Death Raises Questions About Amtrak's Prioritization of Passenger Safety
Truckee, California - The family of 75-year-old Margaret Johnson, one of the seven passengers who died after being stranded on an Amtrak train in the snowy mountains, is speaking out about the tragic circumstances surrounding her death.
According to the family, Margaret, who was traveling alone, had informed Amtrak staff about her medical conditions and concerns about the cold weather before the train departed. The family claims that Amtrak reassured them that Margaret would be taken care of and that the train was equipped to handle the extreme weather conditions.
However, as the train became stranded, Margaret's family grew increasingly worried. Despite their repeated calls to Amtrak, they were told that Margaret was safe and that the situation was under control.
"It was like they were reading from a script," said Margaret's granddaughter, Sarah.
"They kept telling us that everything was fine, that Grandma was safe, and that they were doing everything they could to get the train moving again. But it was all lies."
As the days passed, Margaret's condition deteriorated. She was forced to endure freezing temperatures, with limited access to food, water, and medical care. Her family claims that Amtrak's negligence and lack of preparedness ultimately led to her death.
"The thought of Grandma freezing to death on that train, alone and scared, is just unbearable," said Sarah, fighting back tears. "Amtrak's reassurances were empty promises. They didn't care about her safety; they only cared about getting the train back on schedule."
The Johnson family has joined the class action lawsuit against Amtrak, seeking damages for their loss and holding the company accountable for their negligence.
"Amtrak needs to take responsibility for their actions," said Margaret's son, John. "They need to explain why they didn't prioritize the safety of their passengers, especially the vulnerable ones like my mother."
Amtrak has declined to comment on the specific allegations made by the Johnson family, citing the ongoing investigation and litigation.
As the investigation into the incident continues, the Johnson family's story serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of Amtrak's alleged negligence. The family hopes that by sharing their story, they can prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.
