Mexico Farms is only about three or four miles outside the city limits - where one of the biggest rail yards on the East Coast sits. And it's just a few miles from the 372nd MP HQ. I can look down on it from our deck on the ridge. I'd imagine my mother is out there with binoculars at the moment. :D
Train Evacuated Due to 'Possible Bomb Threat'
Sunday, June 06, 2004
CUMBERLAND, Md. — A train in Maryland was evacuated on Sunday due to a "possible bomb threat," according to local police.
Sgt. Powers with the Maryland State Police (search) said that an Amtrak (search ) train was being held between Mexico Farms, Md., and Cumberland, Md.
Amtrak Spokesman Dan Stessel told Fox News that Amtrak Train 30, the "Three Rivers" train between Chicago and Washington, D.C., was being searched by Cumberland Police with bomb-sniffing dogs.
Two passengers aboard the train were said to have aroused suspicion, which led to the Cumberland Police being notified.
Stessel said the situation was not abnormal and that trains have frequently been searched since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
