A freight train was damaged in a fire that erupted as the freighter was moving through a Jurupa Valley intersection, but the blaze did not spread to surrounding property, officials said Thursday. According to Union Pacific Railroad, the blaze erupted in a locomotive about 11:40 p.m. Wednesday on the UPR line that runs north-south at Etiwanda Avenue and Van Buren Boulevard, underneath the Pomona (60) Freeway. UPR spokeswoman Robynn Tysver told City News Service that when the crew spotted the flames, they immediately stopped the train and contacted emergency services.
