Depends. Could be a defect in the car. Possibly electrical. Was it running under catenary or pulled/ pushed by a diesel locomotive? Something may have failed earlier that had the potential to suddenly break out into a fire. But did any passengers relate smelling smoke?
Fire investigators and SEPTA personnel and perhaps NTSB will figure it out.
