Extraordinary images recorded the moment a train with 350 passengers burst into flames, causing mass -evacuations on their way to Delaware.
The septa train with six cars traveled from Philadelphia when a carriage tore near Crum Lynne, Pennsylvania.
Photos of the incident leave thick, gray plumes from the train, which is illuminated with orange flames in it.
Passenger Dnasia Bucknerer told Fox News that she started smoking for about 15 minutes.
“We had to get up and move to another car and then we had to get up and move again and then I started to see smoke coming from the side of the train,” she said.
“While people walked by, they said the train is on fire, but the conductors say nothing.”
Eventually the conductor opened the train doors and instructed all the passengers to leave board, a process that Buckner said it took about 15 minutes.
