30 rail cars derail in small Georgia town

More than two dozen rail cars derailed in Georgia on Saturday morning, causing a brief evacuation of a nearby area as a safety precaution.

No one was hurt as a result of the derailment that occurred in Byromville, a CSX spokesman said in a statement to Fox News, adding that they were working alongside local officials.

Thirty rail cars derailed, including four railcars containing petroleum liquefied gas, according to a CSX statement. The statement said crews are working to re-rail the cars without damage and remove the derailed rail cars with damage from the area as quickly and safely as possible.

The town of Byromville was evacuated and much of the perimeter was reduced allowing residents to return. CSX praised the first responders in securing and protecting the area.
