Eleven Freight Cars and Caboose Burn Up in Yard Fire
A leaking oil tank caused a yard fire in Petersburg yesterday destroying eleven freight cars and a caboose. Seven carloads of potatoes and one carload of oranges on a Seaboard Air Line refrigerator train were burned. The blaze also damaged three empty cars and the caboose on a separate train, delaying three southbound New York to Miami passenger runs for hours due to heat.
