Simply Criminal Negligence on Pakistan Railways part!!

Why is safety still non-existent? Outside Pakistan, right from childhood it is drilled into our heads "Safety First"!

It is disheartening to see human life is so cheap in my most beloved land.

Death toll reportedly above 40 now.

Uhh narrow gauge?
We're on an operational broad-gauge same as India, very different from the rest of the world.
The Sindh ML1 is very well maintained in terms of operational health.

This is because we haven't automated the signaling system and rely on humans that rely on radio calls to change/stop the tracks on loop-lines.

yes, Automation is very important.

They have also announced Rs1.5 million each for the heirs of those killed in the accident.

THIS is the value of a life?

Was it a signalling issue?

They have also announced Rs1.5 million each for the heirs of those killed in the accident.

THIS is the value of a life?

Will they even get that? How long it's gonna take for them to get that? And how much they are actually gonna get if there is some middle man and his commission involved?

My sincere condolences to family members

Who is in charge of the signaling system for the railroads. These kinds of preventable incidents keep happening without any solutions being implemented or seemlingly any accountability.

The dispatchers and engineer (driver) need to be sequestered and interviewed ASAP to figure out how this happened. Even if weather was a factor, there needs to be a way to stop an oncoming train if an earlier train has derailed onto the tracks.

What if derailment is an act of sabotage, knowing well that other train will run into it.

All the more reason these trains need to be continuously monitored throughout the journey as well as patrols along the tracks to look for any anomalies.

Upgrade lines and install sensors. No needs for patrols. Even busses in US have inside out cameras.
