Not that I can say I'm there everyday I'm there often enough usually only see Amtrak Police there probably around 20% of the time. More likely NJT police or Woodbridge twnsp that would have been there first.Hey, its Jersey, he probably thought he needed it for protection from the Governor!
Seriously, glad no-one was hurt, kuddos to the Am Police!
Being an LSA, I can tell you I see APD on-board a train I'm working probably 75% of the time, at one point or another. Quite frequently I see them ride in between NYP and MET or PHL.

Then again the guy may have been trying to get away from the Governor of New York (who is no saint either) and was shoicked when he landed himself in NJ tooOkay--I tried to resist, but just can't.
