A look down into the trench where the derailment of the molten sulfur train occurred about 36 hours earlier. Molten sulfur isn't toxic, just a bit smelly and very hot! "Molten" sulfur is really just heated elemental sulfur. Over 200 degrees, sulfur becomes "molten". It is dark red in color and had a consistency similar to lava.
