Two Amtrak employees were taken to a hospital Wednesday afternoon when a smoky fire started on the engine of a locomotive in a South Loop rail yard.

I'm thinking they were doing a load test and the turbo let go.

I wonder if they were the same employees that discovered the human foot. Lots of news coming out of that yard in the past couple of days. What's next?
