Horror reverberated through a train carriage as a locomotive stopped on the tracks, surrounded by wildfire on each side.

The Spanish service, going from Madrid to Ferrol, temporarily stopped at around 9:30 a.m. on Monday, due to flames near the road.

A video of the tense moment was tweeted by Francisco Seoane Pérez, under the handle @PacoSeoanePerez, believed to be a passenger on board.

Pérez filmed the view from the right-hand side of the train, showing a line of orange flames outside, before he pans to the left-hand side, showing similar fiery scenes.

Translated into English, the tweet said: "Moments of panic on the Madrid-Ferrol train at Zamora-Sanabria, 9:30 a.m. The train continued the journey after a few minutes stopped." Since being shared the clip has amassed more than 100,000 views.

Train company Renfe shared a series of warnings over the fire, confirming Adif has suspended services between Otero de Bodas and Zamora, which affects the AVE and Alvia Galicia-Madrid trains.

"Alternative road transport between Zamora and Sanabria AV stations," they tweeted, translated into English.

Renfe also issued a statement about the fire, which said, translated into English: "The circulation of all trains is suspended until further notice. Renfe has organized an alternative road transport service between the Zamora and Sanabria AV stations for train passengers who had already departed from their stations of origin.

"At all times, the actions undertaken by Renfe have been aimed at maintaining the security of the service and guaranteeing the integrity of passengers.

"The rest of the services between Galicia and Madrid are suspended until rail traffic can be restored."
