Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF Toaster

Kern county California fire is working west of Walong at East end of Woodford, a reported "vehicle" fire. Looks like the dpu on a BNSF intermodal. Visible now on the Loop Cam.

I backed up the vid, you can see the conductor setting brakes.

At 11:23 AM you can see the unit smoking and a small grass fire just behind.

Unit was reported to have started 3 fires between Caliente and Keene.

I hate it when glass catches on fire. Hopefully the glass fire didn't spread. The lack of west coast rain doesn't bode well for more glass fires,

My bad. Fat fingers + bad eyes + microkeyboards = typing worse than autocorrect

The new rant post for today it seems I agree with you.

So yah the remote blew up and yada yada yada. Funny thing was and I'm not completely sure on the symbol but it looked
to be the 991, which we call a "fire" train ie hold it up and you're fired. Train stopped on the single track between Woodford
and Walong (bottom of the Loop) and sat for 2 hours before someone decided to back it up and put the dead unit in the
Woodford MofW siding. Does anyone give a crap about running a railroad anymore?

Did somebody load a train with Chlorine Triflouride.

There is a video of the engine on fire on YT.  Posted by rrphotographer65.  Titled "Train on Fire!!! ".
