Major Railway Accidents in India 2000-09

This is the only book of its type. It gives details of over 400 railway accidents which have occurred in India in the 2000s, drawing from official records as well as press reports. Full coverage is given to tragic events such as the Godhra incident, the Mumbai suburban bomb blasts and the Samjhauta Express bomb blasts as well as major disasters such as the Rajdhani Express derailment in 2002 and the Delta Fast Passenger derailment in 2005. Also included are peculiar incidents such as that of thieves being killed by fumes from a tanker wagon in Assam in 2008 and the still-unexplained suicidal hijacking of a commuter train in Chennai in 2009.
