Around 9:30 p.m., an officer reported that the fire commander would inform the railroad company about the situation, and they would finish up and clear the scene.
About 15 minutes after that, firefighters cleared the scene. The fire commander said the teams had to make a forced entry into the car to get to the fire. They said they would contact the rail company on Wednesday.
