We don't hear much about Trains in India here on the forums, but They have had more than 280 dead, with two passenger trains derailed and a freight train involved somehow as well. Cause is yet to be determined. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...p&cvid=7f34cb44077744ccbea7515bc935dbeb&ei=76

Thank you Forester1.

When I go to Church tomorrow, a prayer will be said for those who have left this Earth, and for the rest who are injured, I think this might be one most horrific Pictures I have ever seen.

May the Lord rest those departed Souls and give comfort to the all the Families affected.

Our thoughts for all those fatally injured and injured.
whatever their faith and beliefs, no one should have to identify their relatives in this way.

early reports suggest that the signalling/block system didn’t work as expected…

Sounds now like it may have been a faulty or sabotaged signal. Turned the first passenger train onto a track with a freight train. The collision and derails spread to the neighboring track and caused another passenger train to derail.

I had to look up that reference. Indeed, that was a great tragedy, as is this one.
