Monday, firefighters lifted the request for residents to stay indoors with windows shut, saying there was no more smoke in the area.Shortly after 1 a.m., fire crews began clearing the scene and CP crews moved the train cars to the railway yard that stretches between Adelaide and Quebec streets, just north of Central Avenue.Eight firefighters and two apparatus were then dispatched to the yard to finish dousing hot spots, using a “T-Rex Aerial Truck,” the fire department said, and remained there until around 4:30 a.m.Fire crews continue to dose smouldering wooden railway ties at Adelaide Yard.
