Measles nightmare for Amtrak as potential super-spreader sparks alerts from Colorado to California
2026-09-19
[DM] A passenger who traveled from Colorado to California onboard a series of Amtrak trains last week has been hospitalized with measles, stoking fears that he may have spread the potentially deadly virus along the way.

The unidentified passenger arrived in California aboard an Amtrak train from Denver, Colorado to Los Angeles from September 10 through 12, officials with the California Department of Public Health announced on Friday.

After arriving in the city of angels, the passenger got onboard another Amtrak train from Los Angeles to Bakersfield, California, arriving at Bakersfield Station.

From there, he traveled to Stockton, arriving at Stockton-San Joaquin Street Station. He then took a bus to Oroville, and the next day he traveled from Oroville to Sacramento by bus, arriving at Sacramento Valley Station.

The passenger then traveled from Sacramento to Emeryville, arriving at Emeryville Station.

From September 14 through 15, the passenger traveled from Emeryville, California back to Denver.

The travel routes show the passenger traveled through Alameda, Butte, Kern, Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Joaquin counties.

The schedule also suggests the passenger spent the night in the Oroville area last Saturday and lodged Sunday night in the Emeryville area.
