The fire started near the conductor's office. Note broken glass on platform. All the windows were knocked out by the fire department. Photo by Chip. There was a fire aboard the Winter Park ski train early Friday morning while the train was parked at Union Station.
Repairs are already underway at a maintenance facility.
It's not known what caused Friday's fire. The temporary loss of the car won't affect the ski train's five remaining Saturday trips to Winter Park. The train will have extended hours this Saturday for the first day of the Winter Park jazz festival and July 21, the first day of Rockfest. The trip to Winter Park takes two and a quarter hours. Still no dirt turned, but plans keep turning up.
