Train Fire - Photos Wanted
« on: September 18, 2006, 11:39:54 AM »
Does Anyone Have Any Photos Of This Incident

18 September 2006 - 10:30 AM

Location : Adelaide Hills

Media Release : $150 000 DAMAGE TO LOCOMOTIVE

Media Release

The SA Country Fire Service (CFS) responded to a fire in a locomotive near Nairne in the Adelaide Hills this morning.

Reported to CFS just after 6am, two brigades responded to the fire around one kilometre from Nairne on the Melbourne side.

When the volunteers arrived a large amount of smoke was issuing from the engine bay of one of five locomotives pulling the train.

Wearing Breathing Apparatus, firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze in the generator using a dry chemical extinguisher.

Damage is estimated at $150 000 with the cause of the fire believed to be electrical.

The train eventually continued to Adelaide towing the burnt locomotive.
