Fire at Buckhead railroad trestle reignites memories of I-85 inferno

ATLANTA — Investigators have discovered that the cause of a fire under a train trestle in Buckhead -- less than a mile from the infamous Interstate 85 bridge fire and collapse was caused by a garbage burn.

Crews extinguished the fire on Cheshire Bridge Road near Buford Highway around 8 a.m. Thursday.

While roads never closed as a result of the latest fire, there were reports of delays.

NewsChopper2 was over the scene of the fire for live reports throughout the morning.

Channel 2's Audrey Washington was at the scene talking to people who had flashbacks of the I-85 fire and bridge collapse.

Thankfully no one was hurt and no structural damage occurred to the train tracks.
