Grand Central Evacuated After Locomotive Fire
An electrical explosion ignited a New Haven Railroad locomotive on Grand Central Terminal’s upper level during track 27 operations. Evacuation of the main concourse followed as dense smoke filled the area and spread to the Pan Am Building lobby and nearby hotels. Firefighters advanced along the floor with near zero visibility to suppress the blaze.
