Firecrackers set off probe
SAYREVILLE: A large amount of firecrackers placed on a railroad track led to an investigation by officers trained in terrorism.
A Norfolk Southern Railway freight train was traveling through the borough Tuesday morning. At 9:47 a.m., the conductor and engineer were startled when they heard two loud bangs and saw white smoke emanating from the track under the first car, said Sayreville detective Ken Kelly. The train was about a quarter mile from Washington Road near Deerfield Road.
Police initially thought the train ran over an explosive device. Norfolk Southern Police, New Jersey State Police Weapons of Mass Destructive Team, Middlesex County Office of Emergency Management, New Jersey State Police Bomb Squad, Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office and the Sayreville Police Department responded to the scene.
Evidence examined at the scene points to fireworks being deliberately placed on the tracks for the train to run over. Kelly said police believe juveniles who frequent the area left the fireworks there. There was no damage to the train, engine, tracks or injury to any people from the incident, Kelly said. There are no known suspects at this time.
