    Package with body parts foound on train tracks


    Remains found in package on Va. train tracks
    Wednesday - 9/19/2012, 11:12pm ET
    WASHINGTON - A package containing remains found on train tracks in Manassas Park caused confusion and transportation delays Wednesday night.

    Initially, Virginia Railway Express said the remains, which were found in a suspicious package on the tracks in Prince William County, were human.

    But WTOP has learned the remains may be that of an animal.

    However, John C. Evans, police chief for the City of Manassas Park said they can't confirm if the parts were animal or human at this time.

    And, while officials wouldn't confirm what body part was found, VRE officials say it wasn't a head.

    VRE trains on the route stopped while Manassas Park police investigated the scene.

    Officials are advising passengers to call friends or family and get picked up. A couple trains are offloading at Burke, according to a tweet from VRE just after 8 p.m. Wednesday.

    Just before 10:30 p.m. Wednesday night, VRE sent the following Tweet:

    Some passengers report they've received vouchers for future trips.
    And, while officials wouldn't confirm what body part was found, VRE officials say it wasn't a head

    I'm betting a penis. Who else wants to start a pool?

    I've always wondered about the sorts of people who ride or use VRE...
    If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

        If you're commuting all the way downtown from Prince William, I think you are probably a little crazy.

          They said it wasn't a head, so penis may be out of contention.

              Some people want to own property, and can't afford Fairfax prices.

                  True, but then I'd try really hard to find a job in Reston or Dulles or something.

                    I work inbetween DC and Baltimore, and I have coworkers that live in WV and drive out or ride the MARC.

                    Heck, I'm looking at property in NW Loudoun County right now.

                      Yeah, the people who died to preserve slavery were pretty stupid. And anyone who fights for freedom is also a dumbass, because land is the only thing worth fighting for.

                        I think it was meant in the material context, but your venom is appreciated.
