Shell Laden Rail Car Burns At Springfield Yard
An ammunition laden freight car caught fire in Frisco yards causing a series of blasts that sprayed 100 millimeter shells over the area. A house was destroyed and another damaged with one injury reported. Wardmen Gerald Summons and Sam Gaston uncoupled the burning car, allowing others to move danger away. Evacuations and road closures were ordered as flames and explosions continued. Officials attributed the blaze to a hot box and fire crews could not approach due to ongoing detonations.
