  "account": "A cargo train locomotive caught fire at a point between Kempas Baru and Pasir Gudang in Johor around 1:10 pm today. Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) stated that locomotive M1004 was controlling a cargo train No. 193 traveling from Tanjung Pelepas Port to Pasir Gudang. The train driver immediately took action by halting the train upon noticing the fire, as a safety measure. The fire was completely extinguished by the Johor Fire Department at 2:50 pm, with no reported injuries. KTMB also took safety steps in the affected area before any train movement was allowed. The locomotive was taken to Depoh Kempas Baru for technical examination and damage assessment, with further inspections to be conducted in collaboration with Berapit Mobility and the Railway Assets Corporation (RAC) to identify the root cause of the incident. The locomotive was involved in assets undergoing the Rolling Stock Strategy (RSS), which is a program for providing and refurbishing railway assets via buy-back and resale model to strengthen national cargo operations. KTMB stated that the RSS program involves all 44 locomotives and 246 cargo wagons, encompassing both repair and maintenance work based on the established depreciation scheme. Any findings from the investigation will be studied to determine the need for preventive measures and necessary improvements. The public is advised not to make any speculation and for further developments to be announced as they come, according to the statement.",
