A CSX train with 16 cars came off the tracks near Livingston and Rock Castle County.
Two cars hauling molten sulfur were damaged, leading to a fire.
The derailment led Governor Andy Beshear to declare a state of emergency and CSX encouraged people living nearby to evacuate.
They were allowed to return home on Thanksgiving Day.
CSX now says a failed wheel bearing caused the derailment.
All 16 train cars have now been removed.
Roughly 2500 tons of soil impacted by the spill was also replaced.
CSX is now in the process of repairing the tracks.
In a press release, the company said it was thankful to Rock Castle County authorities who helped respond to the incident and to the volunteers who helped serve Thanksgiving dinners to the community.
