I saw an article on this last night (nothing on FR, though it may be here), and that article listed recent train tragedies in Europe; amazing how many people have died on trains there in the last decade. And that doesn’t take into account train messes in places like India.
I first thought of Spain’s terror group, but this doesn’t seem to be that?
That would be the Basque separatists. The train seems to have derailed because it was going too fast.
I seem to recall that the Basques are very targeted when committing terror acts. They do not attack random people.
Doubtful India would keep tallies of the number who died falling off trains. Yes, under there somewhere is a train.
I have a friend from Europe who thought America was foolish for not investing heavily in rail transportation. Then she came here and found out that America is too big to move everyone where they want to go by train. However she does say that a lot of places in Europe are effectively off limits to people who don’t own or rent a car.
