    Monday night, a passenger train was traveling along between the coastal town of Pointe-Noire and the capital Brazzaville, when a portion of it went into a ravine. The train was traveling at a high speed around a curve in the track on a very hazardous section of track.

    At this time there are 76 passengers that perished in the accident while another 745 have suffered injuries.

    The last deceased person was removed from the wreckage on Tuesday night.

    There is not many roads connecting the main areas and trains are becoming a most useful form of travel for Congolese. There are often too many people riding on the trains.
