The engine of an Amtrak train derailed along the Columbia River, sending at least 26 passengers to hospitals with mostly minor injuries, officials said.
The train bound for Portland, Ore., was carrying 115 people when the locomotive's wheels left the track. Four passenger cars were left leaning upright against an embankment on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge, about 45 miles east of Portland, Amtrak spokeswoman Marcie Golgoski said.
