Fire officials say the blaze broke out around 2:30 yesterday afternoon.

Officials confirm there were a pair of grass fires on the West side of Yellow Grass which may have started the Train fire.  The train pulled to a stop two kilometres east of Yellow Grass.
The fire was contained to two rail cars. Fire officials say the blaze was contained in about an hour after water resources were secured.
Traffic on Highway 39 was slowed to one lane for around three hours due to smoke and accessibility of water.
CP re-opened up the track around 8:30 last night and no one was injured.
