California woman found dead on Amtrak train in Texas <br /> <br />A California woman traveling with two children was found dead on an Dallas-bound Amtrak train Tuesday morning, police said. <br /> <br />Authorities identified the woman as Rhonda Burnett, 41, a Salinas, CA, resident who left the Northern California city on Sunday afternoon. <br /> <br />Sgt. Penny Dunn says there were no signs of trauma. An autopsy has been ordered. <br /> <br />The engineer stopped the train in San Marcos after a fellow passenger, who is a nurse, noticed Burnett had died. <br /> <br />Burnett was in a passenger car, with her seat semi-reclined, and with her 8-year-old daughter and her 6-year-old son, police said. <br /> <br />Police estimated that Burnett may have been dead for several hours before she was found in the morning, shortly after the train left San Antonio, where it stayed overnight Monday. <br /> <br />Child Protective Services was caring for the children until relatives could arrive and pick them up. <br /> <br />San Marcos is about 30 miles south of Austin.
