    Now there has been another one. Possibly more then 10 passengers died when the train they were riding in wrecked into a train loaded with goods. The accident happened in the south part of Pakistan. The train engineer apparantly did not see a signal.

    The train that was full of goods was sitting at a train station close to the town of Karachi. It was not moving when the the Allama Iqbal Express ran into it.

    The first 2 cars of the train suffered the most damage. Over 24 people were hurt.

    There was a loud explosive type sound as the trains collided. The signal was not closed right allowing the train to wreck into the other train. It happened at 1100.
