PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Salem police investigated a reported assault on an Amtrak train.

Passengers told KGW (http://is.gd/Iw2nus ) a young woman in tears was harassed Sunday in the lounge car by two men whose behavior and language had earlier prompted families to move from their seats.

The men were pulled off the train and questioned by police in Salem.

The Amtrak Coast Startlight from Los Angeles arrived in Portland nearly six hours behind schedule.
