Seventeen people are still missing, but presumed dead.
Authorities are planning on knocking down two buildings, in the down town area, on Sunday.
They consider the buildings at too great a risk of collapsing on workers who are searching through the rubble for the missing victims.
Several hundred people are still under evacuation, due to the oil spill that was also a result of the accident.
Officials say that the crash was caused because the air brakes on the train failed.
It had been parked nearly eight miles uphill from Lac-Megantic, over night.
Late Friday night, a fire occurred on the train, but it is unclear if that was what caused the brake failure.
The Canadian Transportation Safety Board is continuing the investigation.
