A Canadian National Railway trestle near International Falls, Minn.,
caught fire early Wednesday, damaging several railroad cars that were
caught on the burning span before it collapsed.
.
There were no reports of injuries, or word on when service would resume on
the busy rail line connecting northern Minnesota and Canada.
.
The crew of a southbound train carrying potash -- a non-flammable farm
fertilizer -- reported the fire just after 12:30 a.m., CN spokesman Brent
Kossey said. Koochiching County Sheriff Perryn Hedlund said the bridge
that burned crossed the Rat Root River, just north of Ericsburg and about
8 miles southeast of International Falls.
.
"As soon as (the crew) came around the corner, (they) saw the flames,"
Hedlund said. A crew member "applied his emergency brakes as soon as he
saw the flames."
.
When the train came to a stop, several cars were on the burning bridge. By
the time the crew could prepare the train to start moving again, those
cars were stranded in the fire.
.
The crew uncoupled the cars on the bridge. Hedlund said the original
locomotive -- on the south side of the bridge -- and another locomotive
called in from Ranier, to the north, cleared the unaffected cars that were
on either side of the bridge.
