<p>The second unit on the North end of A416 started on fire thanks to the turbo on May 19, it was an IC unit, not sure of the number. On the same date, just a few short hours later, the WC 1565 was pulling out a cut of cars off of A-2 when she started smoking and making even more wonderful noises than usual, the engine shut down and smoke was pouring out from underneath it. All of the wiring inside got fried and left a nice stench in the air for sometime. This of course brought both the A and the B yards to a stop. They pulled up the engine to the roundhouse and they got the fire out, but at first glance they say that they will not be able to repair it, not sure on the condition of the IC unit. Made for an interesting day anyway.</p><p> </p><p>Big E</p>
