"We received a call at 06:30, saying a train was on fire . . . next to the Scaw Metals company.

"Upon arrival, EMS found that the centre engine coach was burning," Ekurhuleni EMS spokesperson William Ntladi told News24 on Tuesday.

The train was carrying passengers from Vereeniging to Germiston when the incident happened.
