A section of the tracks that carry the Eurostar trains towards the Channel Tunnel are seen empty in southern England as services are cancelled due to a fire on a freight train September 12, 2008. A fire inside the undersea Channel Tunnel that broke out on Thursday and has halted rail traffic between Britain and continental Europe is close to being extinguished, an official in northern France said on Friday. The freight train blaze turned one of the two main tunnel shafts into a smoking inferno. No one was killed, but six people needed hospital treatment after inhaling fumes.
