"We are holding train traffic until a bridge inspector gives the OK," CSX spokeswoman Laura Phelps told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution just before 9 a.m. "They're on the way there right now."
Shortly after 7 a.m., Atlanta police notified CSX of the fire, which broke out near Cheshire Bridge Road and Buford Highway — not far from the scene of the March 30 fire on I-85.
Authorities do not know how the railroad bridge fire started. That is under investigation.
