Four train cars burst into flames on Monday near the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv, but luckily no one was injured.
Authorities said the passenger train going from Plovdiv to Sofia and carrying about 260 people caught fire around 6 pm.
The train staff stopped the machine and managed to evacuate the people before the fire could spread, witnesses said.
The area of the incident has been cordoned off.
On February 29, nine Bulgarians were charred to death and nine more were injured after two cars of the night train going from Sofia to the northeastern town of Kardam burst into flames minutes after midnight.
