Fire Train on Donner Pass August 1985D

It had a warm yet cloudy Saturday on Donner Pass and no freight seemed to be moving. Late that afternoon, I found one of the reasons. There was a fire at the West end of Shed 10 near Butte Canyon Bridge. With some smoke still visible in the background, SD9 #4367 with SD45 #8868 trailing are heading West with some of the cars then in fire train service. I don't remember any other details (if I ever knew) of the fire.
