Accidents frequently occur along India's sprawling rail network, the third largest in the world. Around 23 million passengers use the system every day.
The Indian government estimated in 2012 that about 15,000 people die every year in train accidents in India, largely due to outdated equipment, overstretched staff and poor maintenance. But data from the National Crime Records Bureau showed nearly 28,000 Indians died in 2014 in railway-related accidents.
Sunday's crash involved 14 train coaches, one of which landed on top of another and crushed the one below. Brig. Anurag Chibber, who was heading the army's rescue team, said he feared many more people could be dead in the underlying coach, the AP reported.
