A huge fire broke out in a train car filled with fabrics and electrical goods while the freight train was travelling through Da Nang’s Cam Le District, with services cancelled while firefighters contained the blaze.

Five fire engines were at the scene, alongside other agencies and emergency services, before the fire was finally put out at around 5.30 am.

The rest of the cars were pulled by another locomotive to Le Trach Railway Station in Hoa Vang District.

No injuries were reported and the cause is being investigated.
