Original Toronto Star caption: Mangled freight cars: Firemen remained at the scene of Sunday's train wreck northwest of Orillia to keep a check on smouldering fires yesterday. Repair crews still face the dangerous task of lifting or draining a tank car filled with deadly hydrofluoric acid - one of 31 cars that tumbled into a ravine after a wheel broke on a CP freight train; causing the derailment that forced 1;200 people to flee their homes in the area.
