Nürnburg Fire
Many preserved locomotives have been damaged or destroyed in a disastrous fire at a railway museum in Nuremburg.
This shows news photos of the fire at it's height, and this railfan site shows the aftermath. Both sites are in German, but the pictures are pretty much self-explainatory. It's a sad sight.
Some of the steam locomotives looks to be recoverable, but many of the diesel and electric locomotives appear to be totally lost.
Update: A post on Trainnet gives more detail of what happened.
