Penn Station Reopens After Police Remove Suspicious Package From Amtrak Train
MAY 20TH, 2003

A portion of Penn Station was evacuated for nearly two hours Tuesday after police received reports of a suspicious package aboard an Amtrak train. Law enforcement officials now say the package has been removed from the train, and that train service has been restored and the station reopened to pedestrians.

The train in question, Amtrak No. 174, originated in Washington D.C. and is headed for Boston. During its regularly scheduled stop in Manhattan this morning, officials were notified of a suspicious package and passenger.

The train was evacuated as a precaution, along with neighboring platforms and the floors above the tracks, while police investigated.

Police say a suspect has been taken into custody in connection with the incident, although officials would not say why.

Penn Station reopened to commuters shortly after 3 p.m.

Amtrak, New Jersey Transit and Long Island Railroad service was suspended for more than an hour and a half in both directions in and out of Penn Station while police conducted their investigation, but it has now been restored, with delays.

MTA officials say subway service was not affected by the incident.

NY1 News will have more on this story as soon as more information becomes available.
