There is no immediate danger or leaks, and no one was hurt, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.

Robert Fay, vice president of the Seminole Gulf Railroad, said six cars had derailed. Five cars rolled over on their side, four were carrying drywall and one was a propane tanker. The sixth car, also a propane tanker, derailed but did not roll over, Fay said.

Fay said no LPG leaked from any of the tanks.

The rescue operation in Florida will take several days, and a spokesman for the Seminole Gulf Railroad said restoration work will be completed by March 6.

One of the overturned cars contained 30 gallons of liquid propane. Because the tanker is intact, the crews will not attempt to unload the propane, but will instead raise the wagon with the contents inside the tanker.

“What happened was kind of a domino effect,” said Fire and Rescue Chief Robert Bounds. “One car jumped the tracks and flipped over, and it pulled the next one with it, and so on, and so on, until the momentum ceased so much that the last car simply came unfastened.” Bounds said an attempt to lift the propane tank will be made in the coming days.

Crews monitoring the site are equipped with gas control equipment, and local businesses have been notified of the derailment, Bounds said.
