VIDEO: The La Crosse Fire Department received a donation of a fuel tank car from BNSF Railway Thursday to use in training exercises to prepare for emergencies like a derailment. The fire department has worked with BNSF Railway for years, traveling to their facilities and conducting exercises. Now, they can do it right on Isle la Plume and in turn, reach out to other community fire departments to help them train for rail emergencies. The donated car is a Legacy DOT-111 that for more than 30 years carried fuel via railway.
