The train, which was carrying silica sand and coal from Baldwin to Alachua County, derailed at about 12:30 a.m. Some of the silica sand was spilled from the train, which had two locomotives and seven cars, but none of the cars overturned, said CSX spokesman Gary Sease. The train conductor and an engineer were on the train at the time of the derailment, but neither was hurt, Sease said.
