Fire freight train: mass evacuation in Wales, rescue by emergency teams

A huge fire on a freight train carrying diesel caused a mass evacuation in the middle of the night in South Wales.

Two conductors of the train escaped unharmed as a number of carriages derailed and caught fire while three cars were set on fire.

Emergency teams were transported to Llangennech, near Llanelli, and nearby houses were forced to evacuate as flames and giant columns of black smoke rose into the sky.
