In Florida, the train came off the rails with molten sulfur. VIDEO
On Monday morning, November 27, the 4 wagon, which was carrying molten sulfur, derailed near Lakeland, Florida.
Employees of the Emergency Service issued a warning for local residents with a request to stay indoors and close all windows, as sulfur from several carriages leaked out.
Derailment occurred around 2 hours of the night EST. The first thing that happened was noticed by firefighters who were returning from a physical examination at that moment. Emergency workers arrived at the scene and investigate what happened together with the police and other agencies.
The accident occurred near a residential area along the Kathleen Road, a four-lane divided highway that connects the suburbs with Lakeland. Part of the road is now closed.
Evacuation has not yet been announced, but residents are asked to take refuge in houses and turn off air conditioners.
CSX spokesman Rob Doolittle describes molten sulfur as "a hazardous material used in the manufacture of rubber, detergents and fertilizers."
Поезд CSX направлялся из Уэйкросса, штат Джорджия, в Уинстон, штат Флорида, сказал Дулитл. Он добавил, что он состоит из трех локомотивов и почти 200 железнодорожных вагонов — 120 загруженных и 72 пустых. Помимо расплавленной серы, поезд перевозил картон, овес и валуны.
Now the company is investigating the cause and is working to clear the scene of the accident and restore movement.
