Welcome back!
In hindsight, did you find any indicators specific to attacks on trains?

Body found in ship channel
By Janell Ross Caller-Times
March 12, 2004
A tugboat captain and a boat hand pulled the body of a man out of the ship channel Thursday night, police said.
Corpus Christi police have not identified the man but the boat hand told police he recognized him as someone who worked in the area and often ran on a barge for exercise.
The unidentified tugboat captain called police shortly after 8:30 p.m. and reported he spotted a body floating between two barges docked in a small industrial harbor in the 1200 block of McBride Lane. He awakened the boat hand who then helped him pull the man's body from the water.
It was unclear how long he had been in the water. He had last been seen at about 7 p.m. when he told co-workers he was going for a jog.
Investigators could not determine whether the man had fallen from the barge; at 10: 30 p.m. Thursday they had not ruled out foul play. The Port Authority has taken over the investigation.

Thanks. This connection is SLOOOWWWW but at least I'm somewhat back!
Not in the Bin Laden tape. There were some indications:
1. In one communications arena, there were links to images of what appeared to be explosive devices connected to air vents on the ceiling of a train.
2. The two recent subway incidents, specifically the one in NYC and the one in Ottawa where something was thrown on the track, causing a fire and evacuation. I think someone was pulsing the system to see what the reaction would be.
3. The threats against the trains in France, and the discovery of one bomb under the track there.
4. The recent Moscow subway bombing
5. A series of posts involving the use of cyanide bombs, specifically mentioning their use on trains. Those postings were interesting in that they specifically instructed NOT to use them in train stations due to the presence of cameras, but to use them instead on trains. Those postings also referenced the use of those homemade devices in churchs, temples, hospitals, and office buildings, especially government office buildings. If I see anyone throw a can up in the air, I can promise you that I will be running as fast as I can UPWIND after reading those posts :( Frightening stuff.
