I recently heard a news update. Yes, they now say the train was not hijacked.
I should, by now, know better than to believe initial news bulletins until further, corroborating information is released.
Besides, what motivation would there be for hijacking a train? I think it would be more productive to just grab a bandana mask & six shooters and rob the thing.

I wonder if the 'hijacker' remembered to wear his masonic ring?
