MICRO, N.C. -- An Amtrak train engine caught fire as it traveled through Johnston County Saturday.

JEEZ, is it too much to ask of Amtrak for them to keep their locomotives in a good enough state of repair that they don't keep burning-up while on the road??? Apparently it is.

Well I give credit to this reporter for stating that it was only a train engine that caught fire. However he negated that credit in the second paragraph:

No injures were reported. Train No. 123 was headed to Miami from New York.

Um, there is no Amtrak Train #123, but I bet I could tell you what the engine number was on the point of a certain Silver Service train, which was either #91 or #97.
