LOUISVILLE, Ky.  (WDRB) -- Officials say they have successfully moved the second of two train cars that derailed earlier this week near West Point.

The hydrogen fluoride car is in the process of being stabilized with dirt and officials say there were no major incidents while they moved both cars Sunday.

A 5-mile "shelter-in-place" order is still in place for people living near the train derailment site near Dixie Highway and Katherine Station Road in far southwestern Jefferson County, Ky. The order went into effect at 10 a.m. Sunday morning.

In a conference call on Sunday morning, officials said a "Code Red" would be issued at 9:30, giving people a 30 minute notice of the 10:00 "shelter-in-place" order. 

Officials say workers are moving two Hydrogen Fluoride cars today that are the most critical cars. It will take 4 hours to move each car, with a break between each car. Officials say workers will be wearing self-contained breathing apparatuses.

This process could take a least 9 hours on Sunday to stabilize the two cars.

A "shelter-in-place" warning asks residents to stay in their homes with all of their doors and windows secured and their ventilation systems -- such as heating and air conditioning -- turned off.

 On Saturday afternoon, officials scrubbed plans to move two train tank cars containing hydrogen fluoride at the site of a train derailment after determining that debris at the site needed to be cleared away first.

Officials told WDRB News that the debris -- which included fallen trees -- would be cleared out before moving the cars. 

The site is within the city of Louisville and also has prompted an ongoing evacuation of an area within a 1.2-mile radius, including the city of West Point, Ky., in far northern Hardin County. That evacuation remains in effect.

It's been a long week for residents in the West Point and southwest Jefferson County areas.  Hundreds have been evacuated from their homes in West Point and a portion of Dixie Highway is still shut down.

After Wednesday's explosion, the car containing butadiene continues to burn.  It's a controlled burn, and officials say the state of the environment is good as they continue to do extensive air monitoring.

Chief Dave Goldsmith, Louisville Mama Commander, says, "It's just on a car-by-car basis.  They estimate somewhere between two and four hours per car.  So if that's any indication, it could be awhile."

Officials say they are making progress clearing the site, but are still taking precautions.

"The Hydrogen Fluoride is the chemical that first responders are most concerned about and makes the greatest risk for the community as well as the responders themselves," says Louisville Metro Emergency Management Director Doug Hamilton.

On Wednesday at the site, a butadiene car burst into flames injuring three men.

Two R.J. Corman railroad workers are still at University Hospital. We're told both are from the St. Louis area.

A man from the Paducah area that was working for P&L Railway was also injured.

"He was actually a contractor for us, not an employee, but he is out of the hospital and his injures are relatively minor," says Tony Reck, the CEO for P&L Railway.

The CEO of P&L Railway, Tony Reck, says he stopped by the site Friday to check on the progress.

A 1.2 mile evacuation radius is still in place while air and Ohio River traffic restrictions have now been lifted.

Reck says, as for the derailment, his workers didn't notice anything unusual beforehand.

"The train crew which would be the conductor and locomotive engineer have been interviewed by the FRA and NTSB and no, the first thing they knew was when the train went into emergency," says Tony Reck.

He says now the focus is getting the cars removed and making sure it is safe for people to go back home. He wasn't able to say when that could be.  

"I'd be guessing, because things have actually happened that we didn't plan on. If we get a good break you don't know. If you get a bad break, you don't know. It's just total speculation," says Tony Reck.

Evacuees can go to the VFW Post on Blevins Gap Road for reimbursement for expenses such as food and lodging.
