Did anyone hear more details on this? One of the posts indicated it was a brush fire????? wonder how that happens and who pitched the cig out the window? Just kidding on that I hope.  Neat pictures, the bridge is supposed to be a hundred years old

Attacked by land and by water.  The British are coming!  The British are coming!  

 

Seriously now,

Bridge fire temporarily shuts down rail traffic over Potomac

and

Update: Train traffic restored along Long Bridge

 

The bridge was built in 1903 and rebuild in 1943.  Time for another project?

The "brush" was probably carried aloft by birds.  No idea what started the fire.
