Western Railroad Discussion > Boxcar Fire on the PNWR in Albany, ORDate: 01/29/25 21:29 Boxcar Fire on the PNWR in Albany, OR Author: funnelfan Early this afternoon a 50' high cube boxcar reportedly loaded with bales of scrap cardboard bound for the paper mill in Toledo for recycling, caught fire in the ex-SP Albany Yard while still in the train. The car was setout to a track between the locomotive shop and yard office so firefighters could attack it. The Albany fire department has video of the smoking boxcar on their facebook page.

If it was baled wet, or had a couple oil contaminated pieces in, spontaneous combustion is definitely possible.
