Passenger Trains > Metrolink AV line train on fire

Los Angeles County Fire is respondig to a Southern Calfornia Metrolink AV train with an engine on fire. This is right of the freeway.

This is purportedly just south of the Acton - Vincent Grade Metrolink station.

Has to be either 219 outbound or 236 inbound. There is a notice that 219 experianced trouble at Via Princessa which would be the station BEFORE Acton and that 219 is cancled at that station.

Those wonderful GE locomotives catching fire again.

This was NOT a GE but a EMD 881. More trouble on the AV line this morning with train 206 and 208 to LA. Mechanical issues

Metrolink doesn't own any GE's, try again.
