Indian Rail Disaster

CNN.com - 100 feared dead in Indian rail disaster

As many as 100 people are feared dead after a passenger train derailed in a remote region of northeastern India sending at least one car plunging into a river.

There seem to be a lot of bad rail crashes in India; but this is not so much a reflection of Indian Railways' poor safety record as a reflection of the huge size of their network and the vast numbers of people that use it.

As far as I know, they don't have wheel/rail separation in India; there is no Indian equivalent of Railtrack.
