A CSX train is stopping at the Ellinwood crossing, Corfu, for a possible fire in a train car.
It's unconfirmed that there is a fire, but there was a report of heavy black smoke coming from car.
The train was originally going to stop at Wilkenson Road, so East Pembroke Fire Department was dispatched.
A deputy on scene says he sees the train, but nothing is showing.
UPDATE 2:40 p.m.: A passerby called in the smoke. CSX was contacted and is stopping the train as a precaution. No confirmed fire at this time. Corfu fire is staging in their district at Ellinwood. East Pembroke is staging at Wilkenson.
UPDATE 2:51 p.m.: Nothing found yet. An engineer indicates that one of the diesel engines was blowing some black smoke at some point, but no indication of a fire.
UPDATE 2:59 p.m.: The train is being sent on its way. All fire units back in service.
