If you scroll down to the list of the accidents, you'll notice that India has given the most lives to train accidents. So if you ever travel to India, make sure you don't take the train.

India also has 1.1B population and the train is the most common method of transit. There is a reason for the numbers...we prolly beat them in spades in plane crashes.

"Two fuel trains collided at a North Korean railroad station near the Chinese border Thursday, igniting a deafening explosion that rained debris for more than 10 miles around, South Korean media reported."
