Original Toronto Star caption: Three-day battle: A crew of firemen - some of the 288 who have been fighting the Mississauga railcar blaze for three days - move up on the smoking debris to inspect the automatic hoses trained on the leaking chlorine tank to keep it cool. Many said they were worried more about further explosions than the leaking chlorine gas.
