The two other carriages had been pulled away from the first carriage of the train around midnight.
A crowd of around 50 people watched the operation which started in the early afternoon.
Salvage crews fitted two chains slings on the carriage, and the two cranes lifted the train in tandem out of the building and on to a low loader semi-trailer in the railway carpark in Shore Street West.
The front of train looked relatively intact apart from a smashed windscreen and damage to the lower bumper section.
