Search for bodies at train crash site ends; 146 dead

Some suspect faulty tracks have caused the deadliest train accident in at least five years

The death toll from India's worst train accident in years rose to 146 on Monday, as rescuers used cranes to lift the twisted metal wreckage to check for more bodies underneath.

The passenger train was about midway through a 27-hour journey between the cities of Indore and Patna when it slid off the tracks at 3:10 am on Sunday. The impact was so strong that one of the coaches landed atop another, crushing the one below. Passengers were jolted awake and said they heard the crash as they were flung from their beds.
