A blazing inferno consumes a freight train laden with fuel
A blazing inferno consumes a freight train laden with fuel, releasing thick, black smoke that chokes the once tranquil blue sky and halts a vital trucking route connecting Arizona and New Mexico.
A refers to a derailment and fire that occurred near the Arizona-New Mexico state line on April 27, 2024.
The train was carrying non-odorous gasoline and propane, and six of the cars caught fire and burned for hours.
The fire forced the closure of Interstate 40, a key trucking route.
