One of two Enbridge pipelines damaged in a fiery car crash over the weekend is back up and running.

A company spokesperson says they got the Illinois line restarted Tuesday, a full day earlier than expected.

The second pipeline should return to service sometime Thursday.

Enbridge is still working to figure out how much oil was spilled, because most of it was consumed in the fire.

The remainder is being cleaned up with the help of the Environmental Protection Agency.
