A Burlington Northern Santa Fe train caught fire Saturday morning while traveling under an overpass in Lincoln.
Lincoln Fire and Rescue received reports at about 3:30 a.m. about a fire on one of the BNSF rail cars under the North 27th Street overpass near State Fair Park Drive, battalion chief Jeremy Gegg said.Â
Flames were endangering the overpass above the tracks, but the fire was extinguished quickly. There were no injuries and the cause of the fire is unknown.Â
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department was at the site because of a diesel fuel leak.
