   This is between Baton Rouge and New Orleans.  Area evacuated.

    The local TV stations apparently haven't updated their web sites yet, but there was more detail in some of their broadcasts.

   Not much follow-up in the news.  All but two families nearest the derailment have been allowed back to their homes.  Cleanup mostly  completed; testing continues.
