SAN DIEGO - It was the little engine that couldn't - because it was thirsty for fuel.
Officials say a planned quick train trip down the U.S. west coast turned into a long haul for more than 80 Amtrak passengers Sunday night when their Los Angeles to San Diego train ran out of fuel.
Amtrak spokesman Cliff Cole said the train sat for about two hours on the northern edge of San Diego before another engine came along to push it the last several kilometres into the train station.
The train, which had left Los Angeles at 8:30 p.m., didn't get to San Diego until 1:15 a.m. Monday, two hours late.
Cole described having a train run out of fuel as "an unusual occurrence" and said Amtrak officials will be looking into how it happened.
