September 6 – Clinton Township firefighters were dispatched this evening to a report of a train car fire in the Canadian National (CN) rail yard in Iron Junction, southwest of Eveleth. A passerby reported seeing smoke and flames in the yard. Arriving firefighters discovered that CN employees were burning off propane from two large tanks. Clinton Fire Chief Jim Theodore told The Northland Fire Wire that the gas burn-offs would continue for possibly two more days and that residents should not be alarmed when they see the high flames coming from the facility.
