RALEIGH, N.C. -
An Amtrak spokeswoman says a train has been cleared to resume its journey after it was stopped in North Carolina to remove a passenger who was behaving suspiciously.
Spokeswoman Vernae Graham said train No. 91, the Silver Star heading from New York to Miami, was stopped at 6:40 p.m. in the town of Garysburg, about 30 miles east of Rocky Mount and 93 miles northeast of Raleigh.
Its 254 passengers were allowed to reboard about four hours later.
Graham declined to discuss what the suspicious passenger was doing but said that person was removed by local law enforcement.
There were no injuries.
A state Highway Patrol trooper helped direct traffic around the train, which was stopped near N.C. 46.
