Colorado: Train Evacuated After Bomb Talk
A long-haul Amtrak train was evacuated after passengers said they had heard a man talking about a bomb and a knife. The man, whose name was not released, was taken off the eastbound California Zephyr about 20 miles west of Denver, but was released after questioning when the F.B.I. determined he was not a threat, said Agent Rene VonderHaar. “I think that it’s one of those things that just escalated,” Ms. VonderHaar said. About 220 passengers were evacuated from the train late Sunday and taken by bus to Union Station in Denver, the train’s next scheduled stop. Passengers reboarded the train there and continued eastward, about three and a half hours after the original stop, said Marc Magliari, an Amtrak spokesman. Mr. Magliari said he did not believe that the passenger who was removed from the train had reboarded. “I believe he made alternate travel plans,” he said.
