I remember watching some NatGeo specials on the India Railways. Remember seeing
a railway worker walking the tracks and the inspection speed was about 2 mph. He had
a big hammer and tapped down any tie spike he saw. So the Indian Railways have modern
day track... So the big derailment in India could have happened anywhere in the world when
trains derail on good track. Sure they will find out the cause. So I found a couple of videos
pertaining to railroads of India.
