BARTOW, Fla. ­ Eleven CSX railcars left the tracks in Bartow

late Thursday evening.

The derailment happened about 400 feet West of the Crown

Avenue crossing, running parallel to Highway 60.

All traffic on Crown Avenue was stopped, since the train

blocked the roadway.

Bartow Fire has confirmed that no hazardous material exist that would threaten public safety.

There were no injuries reported as a result of the derailment.

Looks like a Phosphate mining area to me. Lotta low speed, hand throw switches, Local switcher area.

No high speed mainline.

They probably derail stuff in this geographical area just about every day. 

Troll needs ta dispatch that guy who takes all the pictures of SEPTA, down ta do a photo study.

Yeah, they call it the Bone Valley, I think, Clavalin. Was a Seaboard or ACL stronghold, not sure which.
