A smoky scene at a rail yard with three boxcars completely engulfed in fire. 

Fire crews called to NB Southern Railway's South Bay yard had to use extrication tools in order to get inside and put out the blaze. 

Acting Platoon Chief Roy Byers of the Saint John Fire Department says the cars were retired from the rails and being used for long-term storage. There were no injuries.
