"U.S. Northeastern Police Departments Team Up To Protect New York-Washington Trains"


TOM HAYS
Associated Press

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NEW YORK (AP) -- In the latest in a series of security measures taken since the London bombing cases, the New York Police Department has teamed with other East Coast forces to beef up protection of passenger trains traveling between New York and Washington.

The increased security on national train service Amtrak, which began Monday, involves police officers from New Jersey, Philadelphia, Maryland, Washington and other jurisdictions.

The state and local officers will help Amtrak's own police force patrol train platforms and watch for suspicious activity and packages on trains and tracks along the entire route throughout the week, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Monday.

Police have no information about a specific threat against the most heavily traveled route in the Amtrak system."
