The train included two head-end locomotives and 106 cars, including 28 loads and 78 empties, according to a CSX statement. The freight included some hazardous materials, including chemical solvents and acid, as well as non-hazardous material like cardboard, steel plates and powdered flame retardant.
CSX spokesperson Rob Doolittle tells Trains News Wire there were no injuries to the crew and no leaks or spills of any hazardous materials.
“CSX appreciates the quick response of the Pittsburgh Fire Department and its commitment to protecting the public’s safety and safety of CSX’s crew,” Doolittle says.
The lead locomotive was one of 10 locomotives CSX has recognized with heritage predecessor emblems. No. 366 represented the heritage of the Chessie System.
Were the $10 heritage decals damaged?
And I didn't even get a picture of it. Oh well.
"A train that comprised two locomotives…." meets the requirement, considering the older meaning of the word "comprise."
How about "a train composed of…" and not compromised! Apparently there is no proof reading only spell checking.
Putting on a sticker does not equate maintenence. Putting some of these units into the shop now and again and actually fixing them seems to prevent a lot of these problems…then again that costs money.
And ever notice a lot of GE's have paint damage due to high heat or fires at the engine location along the long hood?
GOOOD THATA NOT EVEN A HERITAGE UNIT THAT SHOULD TEACH CSX A LESSON THAT HERITAGE IS NOT SOME STICKER MARK 100% GOES TO THE FIRE HAHA
Wouldn't have been a fire had it been actually painted as a Chessie unit. I wonder if the decal started the fire. 😉
