June 6, 2019 7:36AM CDT
Fire crews and railroad officials Thursday morning were working on a coal car fire in the West O Street Rail Yard. Scanner traffic indicated just before 4am, coal was found smoldering at the bottom of a rail car loaded with 100,000 tons of coal. A request went out for a special device which could pierce thru the coal and put smother whatever is burning at the bottom of the car.
