Smoke could be seen rising above Coldstream on Friday evening near the train bridge that runs over Kalamalka Road.
The blaze, which appears to have been concentrated to a pile of railway ties near the train-tracks, started at approximately 7:15 p.m. on July 12.
Police blocked traffic on Collegeway Road as fire crews extinguished the blaze.
Witnesses Carter Murphy and Ryder Emmerton, both 13 years old, saw what they described as a "black tornado," of smoke rising from the pile of railway ties as it burned.
