the freight line that goes through dumont and haworth is mostly containers but i've seen chemical cars on those trains. Might have to go out and film it to watch for fire in the wheels

it means proper maintenance wasn't being done and there is too much friction which leads to heat and then fire. since they will have oil based lubrication I'm guessing the heat ignites the lube

i'm not 100% sure but I used to maintain army vehicles and my car long ago and know that everything requires lubrication and it's all oil based and heat/friction needs to be controlled
