CARRINGTON, N.D. (KVRR) — Cleanup continues on a train derailment that happened Friday near Carrington, North Dakota.

More than 20 Canadian Pacific train cars carrying hazardous material went off the tracks.

Fire crews have extinguished most of the fire.

Crews are working to complete the removal and isolation of the derailed rail cars containing methanol, anhydrous ammonia and plastic pellets.

A shelter in place was ordered for nearby residents earlier Sunday over air quality but levels have since improved and the shelter in place was lifted.

NTSB and FRA investigators have been on scene since Saturday.
