Most likely they were planning to blow the train up as it crossed the Niagara River near Buffalo NY . There is a railroad bridge which crosses from N Falls Canada to N Falls NY .

I served as a member of something called " The National Defense Support Command " .
Think Reserves for old guys . We had a very good sized chapter in the Buffalo / Rochester area . We did CERT training and were the reserves for the active reserves . We had monthly speakers at our meetings from various law enforcement agencies .
At one update a senior official of the Parks Police shared that they had spotted a group of men from the NY City area who had a trunk full of high tech equipment . A check of their videos revealed a very detailed series of photos and video of the underlying structure of the railroad bridge .
We were told that the Parks Police contacted Homeland Security and the vehicle was quickly taken away on a flat bed truck .However the people disappeared . This was almost exactly 2 years ago .
