Third Rail Fire

Seems kind of unusual: https://patch.com/new-york/ossining/hud ... -rail-fire" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
A fire on the Hudson Line caused damage to a third rail and cut electricity. Metro-North reports service is currently experiencing delays up to 50 minutes in both directions due to single-tracking and third rail damage from Morris Heights to Marble Hill.

The only unusual part of the incident is the media picked up on it.
