Fire officials are investigating the causes of a blaze on one of the trains at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Va.

The blaze slighted injured one park worker but the train wasn’t in service and no visitors or animals were affected.

The fire took hold as the train was at the Carabou Train Station.

It is one of three steam locomotives which run around the park and use propane tanks.

The trains date back to the 1970s.

"The safety of our guests, ambassadors and animals remains our top priority," park management said in a statement.

It is the second blaze at the park in just a few weeks.

Last month a fire temporarily closed the park’s ‘Escape from Pompeii’ water ride.
