Amtrak's Empire Builder passenger train was

delayed in North Dakota for about 1 hour because of a vehicle

that was abandoned on the tracks in Fargo.

A passer-by

spotted the sport utility vehicle about 4 a.m. Thursday and alerted

authorities. Police then notified railroad officials to hold all

traffic on the route until the vehicle could be removed.

Authorities did not immediately find the driver who left the

vehicle stuck on the tracks.

The Empire Builder runs between Chicago and the Pacific

Northwest.
