Was that a GE that came down from the States? I assume it was an unmanned DPU engine shoving? Did the Dispatcher call the Fire Dept, somewhere and they extinguished the flames at a grade crossing or station? EMD sabotage! Their turbos burn up the same way!

GE Flambeau.

Yes sir, that is an ex US diesel. I can perceive the engineer of the stopped train calling the other and telling about the fire. I imagine they stopped the fire, but I do not know the extension of tbe damages.
