Amtrak: Person on tracks came into contact with train near Baltimore

BALTIMORE (AP) — A passenger train was stopped outside Baltimore after someone who was trespassing on the tracks came into contact with the train, an Amtrak spokesperson said Thursday.

The collision happened south of BWI Marshall Airport just before 10 p.m. Wednesday with a train that was traveling from Boston to Washington, D.C., spokeswoman Jen Flanagan said in a statement to the Associated Press.

None of the 177 passengers or crew on board was injured, the statement said. The condition of the person who came into contact with the train was not specified.

Amtrak was working with Baltimore City Police to investigate.

A tweet from Amtrak said service on the train was terminated after the collision. Passengers were transferred to another train to continue their travels.
