The incident occurred in Maramureș, and a replacement locomotive intervened on site, safely taking the passengers. The spokesperson for ISU Maramureș, Adriana Șanta, stated that all passengers were evacuated without incidents, and the fire was contained at the level of the locomotive, with no risk of spreading to the carriages.
