Amtrak Engine Fire Delays Chicago To Boston Train
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (AP) -- An Amtrak train heading from Chicago to Boston and New York City was delayed east of Schenectady when the second of two locomotives caught fire.
Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said there were no injuries to the 287 passengers or crew on the combined No. 448 and No. 48 train, which was delayed around 4 p.m. Sunday.
All passengers stayed onboard.
He said a decision on whether to continue the trip by rail or transport the passengers by bus would be made after firefighters finished their work.
The cause of the fire wasn't immediately apparent and Amtrak officials were investigating.
