Here is a link to our local paper about a derailment yesterday. Second time a CSX train has derailed in this area this year.

Second time the public heard of a derailment is more like it.

Cause is initially being stated as a pretty nicely broken rail. Apparently the lead unit made it over the break fine, and then it was all downhill from there. Undoubtedly there will be an investigation to confirm that. I'm hearing the units that did go down on the ground will pretty much definately be heading for Waycross or Huntingdon, but exact damage is unknown. Train was Q60919.

Power was:
CSXT7735
CSXT7869
CSXT454
CSXT9016
CSXT273

The hazmat reports are mixed. Everyone is saying there was NO release, but there are different stories as to the overturn, derailing, and such of the dangerous in train.
