[CBQ] Coal fires in cars ?

["Leo Phillipp via Groups.Io" <qutlx1=aol.com@groups.io>]

Sometime in the late 60s I was driving across Farnsworth Ave in Aurora and 
found a Q hopper load of coal sitting just east of the xing on the Industrial 
lead.  It had smoke coming out of it while an Aurora fire dept crew pumped 
water over the load.

So the question popped into my head about how often this occurred back in the 
day of steam power ? Was what I saw a very rare occurrence or did fires get 
going in coal,loads on a semi regular basis ?
