Kentucky train derailment causes chemical spill, forces evacuations

A train derailed and spilled chemicals in a remote part of eastern Kentucky on Wednesday, prompting officials to encourage residents of a small town to evacuate.

Gov. Andy Beshear said in a statement that local officials in Rockcastle County were encouraging residents of Livingston, with a population of about 200, to evacuate. 

At least 15 cars derailed in Rockcastle County, including two that spilled sulfur, railroad operator CSX told CBS affiliate WKYT-TV. One crew member was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
