Authorities say a freight train carrying petroleum, wine and fruit has derailed in the Florida Panhandle near Mil;ton amid heavy fog.
A spokeswoman for Santa Rosa County says about 150 to 200 gallons of petroleum leaked from one tanker. But county spokeswoman Joy Tsubooka says no injuries were reported and no evacuations are planned.
Tsubooka said 13 cars and six engines of the 46-car train jumped the track as the train was heading east near the Bon View subdivision in the Mulat area.
A tanker carrying carbon dioxide did not pose a threat. Another car was carrying fruit and wine.
Tsubooka says the CSX train derailed about 6:20 a.m. Saturday.

Expect more train derailments to occur in the Florida Panhandle within the next four years during the Obama Administration. I expect there will be a very serious derailment in the Florida Panhandle between now and 2013.

Expect more derailments in the next four years; I wouldn't be surprised if we get hit with a big one yet.
