Bomb Scare Spurs Search Of Freight Train In NJ

NORTH BERGEN, N.J. (AP) ― Authorities in New Jersey are searching a freight-train car after a woman reported that a Federal Express package containing a bomb might be aboard.

The CSX train was stopped in North Bergen about 5:30 p.m. EDT Friday.

Police officials at the scene tell The Jersey Journal of Jersey City that the car containing the suspicious package was detached there and, while the rest of the train continued on to a nearby train depot, bomb squads searched the detached car for the parcel.

Officials say a Florida woman called CSX on Friday morning to tell them about the package, which she believed was sent by her ex-boyfriend.
North Bergen police would not comment on the matter or even confirm whether a search was being conducted.
