Sleeper Express Stops in Shiga Pref. for 3 Hours after Smoke Seen Rising from Car; No Injuries Reported but 3 Other Trains Canceled
After stopping on the tracks for about three hours to ensure safe conditions, the train went on to Omi-Nagaoka Station and let its about 300 passengers get off. No one was injured or complained of illness.
The fire department and others are investigating the cause of the smoke, which is believed to have resulted from some wiring catching fire in an aisle of the train.
According to Central Japan Railways Co., two trains departed from Izumo City in Shimane Prefecture and Takamatsu City and were linked together at Okayama Station. The combined train was on its way to Tokyo when the smoke was detected.
A total of three trains on the company's JR Tokaido Line were canceled due to this trouble.

In Kawartha Lakes, Ont., around 60 hectares of land are still burning
A total fire ban across Kawartha Lake is still in effect as two fires, in Burnt River and the Kirkfield area, continue to burn, the city said Wednesday in a news release. The fire in Burnt River, which began Aug. 9, is 27 hectares in size, while the Kirkfield fire began Monday and has decreased slightly from Tuesday afternoon to roughly 33.5 hectares in size, the release says. There are no significant changes to the two active fires, said Evan Lizotte, a fire information officer with the Ministry of Natural Resources during a news conference Wednesday. Firefighting resources in the area have been strained by four significant fires in the area in the past week. "The [Kirkfield] fire is still not under control," said Lizotte. "The [Burnt River] fire has been tied in, meaning … the fire's perimeter has been secured." Recent cooler temperatures and cloud cover are expected to help firefighters make progress, the city release says. It says evacuation is still not necessary, however road closures remain in effect on County Road 49 between County Road 121 and Bury's Green, as well as along Prospect Road from 1304 north to 1375.
