The search for survivors of the deadly mudslide grew Monday to include 108 names of people who were reported missing or were unaccounted for, but authorities cautioned the figure would likely decline dramatically. The size of the list raised concerns the death toll would rise far above the eight people who have been confirmed dead after the 1-square-mile (2.6-square-kilometer) slide Saturday swept through part of a former fishing village about 55 miles (80 miles) northeast of Seattle. Several people also were critically injured. About 30 homes were destroyed, and the debris blocked a 1-mile (1.6 kilometer) stretch of state highway. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)

A line of rail cars containing grain are stationed along a Wisconsin Southern Railway track in Cottage Grove, Wis. as they await shipment to Chicago Friday, March 21, 2014. The rail industry has been facing reliability issues caused by increased demand and frigid winter weather conditions that cracked tracks, froze switches and forced tightened safety measures such as running trains with fewer cars.
