BNSF engine catches fire near Ferryville, Wisc.

(The following appeared at WXOW.com on January 19, 2009.)

FERRYVILLE, Wisc. Firefighters put out a fire onboard a railroad engine near Ferryville tonight. The fire was called in by the crew of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad engine shortly after 5 p.m. south of Ferryville. The crew was able to unhook the cars and move a safe distance from them to prevent further damage since the engine carried several thousand gallons of fuel. After the fire was extinquished, the train continued its trip to La Crosse. No word from firefighters or the railroad as to what caused the fire.

Snippy thinks we should wait for the Drain Odors investigation team report before we post that it was GE-unk.

Let's just take a moment, and not jump to conclusions. Although evidence the fact that BNsf is an all-GE all the time railway, don't blame GE.

Wait for the facts. From TO's investigative teams in the field.

Thank you.

Well now, I'll be dipped...that thing looks like...maybe... Nah, couldn't be! Nope! I'm gonna wait for proof-positive that it's a General Electric built locomotive.

And I urge all who read these posts to do the same. Let's all take a moment...

If we could get a better picture, we might be able to make out the manufacturer's name on that builder's plate on the side. Until then, I'm just going to withhold judgment.

I wonder how many of the 250 guys layed off at GE are planning on relying on their singing to keep food on their table?

Can't crank out 885 locomotives a year if you're not passionate!
Pure propoganda.
