hortly after 8 a.m. on Tuesday morning, there were reports of a suspicious package on board a commuter rail train stopped at Tuttle Street in Wakefield.

The bag ended up being merely an unattended bag and not a suspicious package, according to MBTA spokesperson Joe Pesaturo.

The MBTA reported that the Haverhill Line train 263 (7:50 a.m. departure from North Station) was stopped before Wakefield Station because of police action and Transit Police were being called to the scene.

By 8:30 a.m., the commuter rail train was moving again and on its way to Reading. The MBTA said to expect 15-20 minute delays on the line.
