MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Fire Department says all passengers made it out of an Amtrak train after a fire in the locomotive. Cassie Taylor, the department’s office assistant, says firefighters were notified of the fire in the passenger train just after noon Thursday. Citing dispatch logs, Taylor told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel everyone was evacuated from the train. The fire was reported in the engine. The incident in Milwaukee comes amid scrutiny of a deadly Amtrak crash in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
