A large fire has broken out at Castle Cary, Involving a tyre factory or related facility.
Thick black smoke and explosions are reported.

No word of any impact on rail services, presumably this might depend on the wind direction.

The effect should be minimal. The Weymouth line runs about half a mile to the west, with the main line another few hundred yards further west.
