FIRE CAUSE NOT KNOWN Blaze Occurs on Elevated Structure on West Farms Branch at 163d Street. ‘A Wooden car afire at One Hundred @md Sixty-third Street and West- @hester Avenue—the fifth subway mishap in less than a week—tied up @ratic above One Hundred and Fifty- minth Street on the West Farms branch, from 1.87 until 3.15 A.

The tracks are elevted in this sec- fon, and thousands watched the int where the oar ) seventy: The car @, only the trucks and steel frame remained on the track. Thé heat and smoke from such a blaze down in the subway proper must cer- tainly have resulted in filling the tube with the same stifling fumes that killed one person and over- came 700 last week. | The fire, so high In the air, was ®@pectacular and thousands of per-| sons in The Bronx turned out to wit- | ness the strange spectacle of firemen fighting a blaze on the elevated struc- | ‘ture.’ . The car was on the “layup, middle track, between two steel ears. | ‘The elevated structure of the subway | reaches its highest point there. Work- | men had been making repairs on the | car when it caught fire from some un- known cause. The blaze ignited the oll soaked axles and underpinning and fn a short time the entire car was & mass of flames. A policeman in the street below saw drops of burning oil trickling down through the tics and heard cries of “Fire Wiremen under Battalion Chief Jones came and raised ladders to the tracks about 300 feet below the Intervale station, and telephoned the company to shut off the power. The jarm went in about 1.20. The power Jas shut off at 1.37, which stopped all trains north and southward above One Hundred and Forty-ninth Street. After the power above One Hun- dred and Forty-ninth Street had been @hut off, north bound trains unloaded there and returned south. ‘Transfers were given out to the Third Avenue elevated, but passengers desiring to go in other directions had to pay an extra fare, There was further incon- venience in the vicinity of the fire, as the work of the firemen suspended traffic on the One Hundred and Sixty- third Street and the Westchester sur- face lines until 3.16, There was so much confusion at One Hundred and Forty-ninth Street when all the pasengers from north- bound trains were turned loose there, ® large force of police reserves was required to keep order.
