Fox News reporting train (possibly Amtrak) being evacuated near Cumberland, MD, west of Washington, D.C.

[Phsstpok]

Possible attempt at Spain like incident? If so likely other transportation in the cross hairs - any other sources? Anything from local radio/TV in the area? Nothing in Google news search yet

More info coming in...bomb threat.

[alisasny]

BOMB threat of some sort

[BreitbartSentMe]

[Howlin]

Stopped between Mexican <?> Farms and Cumberland.

[Phsstpok]

now saying evacuated because of bomb threat. Hour or so west of D.C., near Mexico Farms.

[Maceman]

I'm betting the bomb threat will prove to be a hoax. Terrorists don't usually call ahead with warnings.

[Cicero]

Most bomb threats are false alarms. Let's hope this one is.

[Howlin]

Is that Amtrack???

[Dont Mention the War]

Someone set up them the bomb!

[AZamericonnie]

Probably, (hopefully), not much to this. Terrorists don't usually foreworn.

[SamAdams76]

Apparently we have some sort of bomb scare on a passenger train near D.C.

While the bomb threat may well be a hoax, it is prudent to stop and evacuate the train so that the threat can be properly evacuated. If it is a false alarm, I hope that the perpetrators of the hoax are treated just as harshly as if the bomb threat was genuine.

FYI.

[BreitbartSentMe]

Amtrack, stopped, searched for 2 hours, passengers reloaded, then going. After that,stopped again, and passengers evacuated. Wow

[Howlin]

Wow.....it was searched for two hours and passengers allowed back on, it continued on.

Now it has stopped again!

[piasa]

Was stopped and searched for two hours in Cumberland; people were loaded back on and it left, then was stopped later again and evacuated.

[Howlin]

*Snicker*

[Howlin]

I think we got that fact pretty much covered.......LOL.

And nobody can question our hearing skills, can they?

[piasa]

Someone propably thought about it and said, 'whoah, I don't want to be accused of being irresponsible if our search wasn't thorough enough or if the bomb was on a track instead of the train...' and had it stopped again just in case.
