Fifteen cars of the train derailed, with three catching fire.
Nearly four hundred people were forced from their homes, due to the fire and smoke.
Firefighters were able to extinguish the flames, after a several hour battle, and residents were allowed back into their homes.
Concerns now are focused on the oil that leaked into the James River, which flows into Chesapeake Bay.
An investigation is underway to determine what caused the derailment.
