Emergency crews were on scene but no injuries were reported, the Houston County Emergency Management Agency said.
Initial reports suggested that hazardous materials were leaking from the derailed train. However, HCEMA disputed that.
"No hazardous materials are involved or leaking however we urge drivers to use alternate routes to limit traffic for our responders," the agency posted to Facebook.
