The train did not tip over into a wetland area when it derailed.

A CSX train derailed Friday from the track near the end of Buffalo Road at the crossing of Highway 99 near Anguilla, Ga., in a rural part of Glynn County.

The cars were upright and posed no danger to people living in the area, according to a Glynn County spokesman.

Highway 99 in the area was closed Friday afternoon while crews worked. Motorists were detoured along Highway 32 or Highway 82.
