Was it a McDonalds bag by any chance?
Per caller to FoxNews, something 'suspicious' was found in one of the bathroom facilities on board.
Must have found Sandy's notes in the bathroom.
Passenger says police may have found something the bathroom. Police using dogs and other special devices to search.
Passenger works for Fox on assignment desk. ID's are being checked and writing down names and license #'s.
Everyone is nervous onboard.
Maybe they found a clean seat. No train on the morning commute has a clean seat.
I've left "something suspicious" in an Amtrak bathroom lots of times.
I just heard this on FNC
The police are questioning every passenger

Police questioning passengers on Amtrak train in Newark

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Police questioned passengers aboard an Amtrak train that was detained at Newark Penn Station Thursday morning, checking the identification of each passenger.
Over a cell phone from a passenger on board the train, an unidentified railroad or police worker could be overheard telling passengers, "This is an unusual situation."
Dan Stessel, a spokesman for Amtrak, said there was "an active police investigation. Until it's wrapped up, we can't comment on it."
Terry Taylor, The Associated Press' sports editor, boarded the Washington-to-New York train in Philadelphia, and said it was held in the Newark station shortly after 8 a.m. The train was still in the station at 9:15 a.m.
Taylor said transit police officers came down the aisle of each car, asking to see the identification of each passenger on board and checking the information with small hand-held computer devices.
Police also searched overhead luggage compartments with a metal wand, and at least one police dog was brought aboard the train.
Police were not allowing anyone on or off the train, and the nearby platform was cordoned off with yellow police tape, she said. A woman who was addressing passengers aboard the train said anyone with a medical condition who needed to get off the train should speak to authorities.
Stessel would not say if the train or its passengers were considered to be in any danger.
train held for 90 min now released on its way to NY
FoxNews...train is on its way.
Nothing to see here, folks. Move along....
