These guys had to abandon their train to escape fire.

This is in Ontario. They walked to safety.

Kid1, who is both an conductor and engineer for CN and has driven trains through SK wildfires himself, just sent me this video from Ontario. When I tell you they arent paid enough!!!

I could feel how hot it was in there, and they were soon to run out of oxygen.
