Snowshed Fire in Sierra Nevada Sparks Massive Loss
A westbound freight oil car ignited in tunnel 13 west of Truckee setting snowsheds ablaze. The fire spread to naptha cars, causing a violent explosion that destroyed 18 cars and 1800 feet of snowshed, with two fires burning along the woods. Three tramps were badly burned, one likely to die, as crews fought the blaze for hours and prepared a new track amid severe heat. The three men—Joe Reichmuth, John Goheniex, and George Scheile—were rescued after being trapped in the cars.
