The news I heard from Hornsby was that this was the 2nd incident in 4 weeks
involving a K set. I beleive a very large arc was responsible for this and I
have heard it might mave something to do with the Motor ALternator main Ct
breaker or the "MAC" breaker in the tralier car, in the cupboard on the lower
deck.

I hope this helps
