Heavy smoke prompted firefighters to urge residents in the area to stay indoors with their windows closed as crews battled a blaze on moving train in London, Ont.
A CPKC train with five railcars went up in flames as it was travelling in London, Ont., on Sunday night.
“The train crew disconnected the cars that were on fire with some possible dangerous goods that were on board other cars that were empty, but still a threat.” By 12:30 a.m. Monday, firefighters lifted the request for residents to stay indoors with windows shut, saying there was no more smoke in the area.
Shewell said the railway company was investigating the cause of the fire but that “at this point it’s deemed obviously suspicious until proven otherwise.”
