A big bang in or near the Bloor station of Line 2 Wednesday erupted into fire and caused a lot of damage, the TTC reports. The line is stopped between Pape Ave and George Street. A feeder cable has been damaged in what sounds like a bad connection with the third rail. The fire caused a smoky morning in the station and on the street outside.
