"SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Union Pacific is investigating why one of its locomotives struck Amtrak’s stopped California Zephyr at low speed Friday on California’s Donner Pass.

UP spokesman Aaron Hunt said the UP engine was traveling less than 1 mph at the time of the collision. Amtrak train No. 5, the westbound Chicago-Emeryville, Calif., California Zephyr, was stopped at Emigrant Gap, Calif., when it was struck from behind.

Hunt said the crash occurred amid a winter storm. No injuries or damage resulted to either train."
