Pictured: Romero-Jesus Rodriguez (DMCCC)
"Burlington police arrested a man on arson and trespassing charges after he apparently lit a fire aboard a freight train car.
Sgt. Joel Larkins says officers were initially called to Main and Market streets to a report that a man was trespassing on the train, when they arrived they saw flames coming from the car. During an investigation officers discovered that 49-year-old Romero-Jesus Rodriguez had been riding on the freight train for several days. He said he lit the fire using coal being transported on the train to stay warm........"

"The fire department was called to extinguish the fire, BNSF officials estimated around $20K in damage to the train car and coal."
I wonder if they will be able to repair the damage to the coal?

If that depends on the party responsible for the damage covering the cost to do so, doubtful.

Indeed - it can be very expensive to put the heat and fire back into the coal....
Sorry, I forgot may sarcasm smile ...
I am sure BNSF will never see a cent from the perpetrator..
insurance?
daveklepper insurance?
Guess it depends on who owns the car. I am sure BNSF is probably self-insured for things like this.
Wonder how much of the car had to be emptied to put the fire out? (coal pile fires are not fun)
Yes, to put the heat and fire back into the coal is much more expensive than it is to put the smoke back into a chip on PC board. When I was looking after repair and return items in a manufacturing plant, one common complaint about PC boards was "Needs smoke put back in."

Those boards must have been made by Lucas Electric.
