A heavy police presence greeted rail passengers Tuesday morning, as Amtrak, the Transportation Security Administration and local agencies teamed up for a joint show of force.
Officials said the rush-hour deployment along the Northeast Corridor was meant to demonstrate ongoing collaboration and give local officials a chance to familiarize themselves with the stations.
The railroad and the TSA said officers from about 100 commuter rail, state and local police agencies took part in the operation, which included random passenger bag inspections.
