Lake Forest-area residents might have dodged a bullet Wednesday after a freight train carrying sulfur derailed but did not spill. The Federal Railroad Administration is investigating the situation that started shortly after 3 a.m. when 11 rail cars went off the rails and piled up alongside the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.Contrary to widespread belief, the toxic freight was not high-fructose corn syrup. The toxic substance in question was actually molten sulphur.
