India's deadliest train crash in decades: Hundreds dead and US train safety concerns.

The death toll from a train derailment in eastern India has risen to over 280, with more than 900 people injured. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, but a possible signal error has been cited. Train accidents are not uncommon in India, which has the largest train network under one management in the world. Meanwhile, in the US, safety data from 2021 to 2022 found an average of three derailments reported every day on railways, with most happening in freight yards at lower speeds.
