Traffic is back to normal on Virginia’s Interstate 95 after a winter storm paralyzed traffic.

Hundreds of commuters were stranded for nearly 30 hours, and they weren’t the only travelers impacted by the weather.

As CBS2’s Cory James reports, among those folks stranded for hours were Amtrak passengers on board a train from New Orleans to New York City. They were supposed to arrive in New York before 7 p.m. Monday, but icy conditions interrupted their trip and they ended up stranded in Lynchburg, Virginia.
