Wow, almost like the one crossing the Salt River bridge in Tempe a few years ago.
Looks like a good place to stop a burning train, right on a crossing....

The TV news tonight said it was burning railroad tires.

It will be interesting to hear this story. I will follow it closely.

No significant update on tonight's news. A lot of complaint that it ran through the middle of town in that condition. Someone excused the crew as they might not have been able to see back along the train.
