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.
