   Up to $4 million damage has been caused to a luxury rail carriage on
   the Indian Pacific.
   The carriage was parked at the Keswick Rail Yards in Adelaide,
   awaiting its departure tonight.
   A passing security guard noticed smoke pouring from the ceiling of the
   carriage.
   Eight firefighters using breathing equipment took an hour to control
   the blaze.
   Bill Dwyer, from the Metropolitan Fire Service, says investigators are
   still trying to determine the cause.
