amtrak train fire penn station

In December 2022 a fire erupted on an Amtrak Northeast Regional train while it was stopped at New York’s Penn Station. The blaze started in a passenger car’s electrical system, prompting an immediate evacuation of the train and a temporary shutdown of the station’s concourse. No serious injuries were reported, and service resumed after the fire was extinguished and the affected car was removed. The incident led to an investigation by Amtrak and the National Transportation Safety Board into the cause of the electrical fault. Views Nigeria
