News: Scenic Railway badly damaged by fire

By BryanWood

Apr. 8th, 2008 -- The historic Scenic Railway in England was partially destroyed by a fire yesterday afternoon. Fire officials are calling the blaze "suspicious" and it is being treated as a possible arson case.

The classic wooden coaster, which was built in 1920, lost the train shed and the "main portion" of the structure. Officials say 40% of the structure was a total loss, but the rest was saved. Town officials stated that if it is possible, they will press hard to rebuild the roller coaster.
