 It happen a little after 8. It was a 2 car 69th St. Limited. It caught fire just before gulph mills underneath the bridge. It was 130 & 131. i thought it was 131 that was damaged, regardless it was the second car that was on fire. It look like it was 3rd rail fire the damage was on the left side of End A of the car.

I was on the 8:00 Norristown Limited when we was approaching gulph mills we came to a crawl and finally stop underneath the expressway, then we notice it was a fire ahead of us then we notice it was a train. They cut power while they put out the fire so we was stuck on a hot behind train. Finally after they put the fire out they came and got us off the train. We had to hop off the train and walk the tracks to the platform where we had to jump up on it. They shuttles waiting to take us to norristown. They was running shuttles between Randor and Norristown it was a mess this morning.
