Blind campers left stranded for hours at a West Michigan Amtrak station

Описание: A scheduled Sunday train ride out of Battle Creek turned into a nightmare experience.

Thirty blind and low-vision adults loved the chance to go snowshoeing and ride on snowmobiles, but their trip home left them in a dangerous situation.

Dianne Sweeter has volunteered at the Lions Club Winter Camp for the Blind at Battle Creek Public Schools' Outdoor Education Center for years, serving as a nurse for the dozens who attend every year.

Some who live on the east side take an Amtrak train to Battle Creek, where camp helpers pick them up.
But on Sunday, a trip that should have taken a few hours turned into an all-day predicament.
