QuoteA 1940s railway carriage looks set for the scrap heap after a fire ripped through its insides in Kingston yesterday afternoon.
The blaze was reported by Canberra Railway Museum staff at 2.35pm.
Four ACT fire brigade pumpers from Fyshwick, Phillip and Gungahlin arrived shortly after to find the carriage well alight. District officer Jim Schlizio said firefighters had trouble extinguishing the blaze due to insulation concerns.
Partial story here (http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news/local/news/general/kingston-blaze-guts-old-railway-carriage/2088194.aspx) but as per normal procedure, get yer'self down to the newsagents and fork out $1.80 if you want the whole story, you cheapskate!
I will just go with the partial information then pay the $1.80 for the daily rag. Looks like a HUB/RUB, sad as I like those old things (And it is still in Candy).
For those who wanted all the information without paying the $1.80, here is the full article:
