Four workers died in a horrific train collision at Shin-Kanuma Station near Tokyo while clearing weeds from the tracks—three crushed under the train, one on the platform. Services on the Tobu Nikko Line were suspended as emergency crews raced to the scene. Passengers on a limited express train heard an odd noise before the train stopped abruptly, leaving them stranded. The critical safety protocol of having someone alert track workers of approaching trains remains uncertain in this tragedy—a rare but devastating reminder that even Japan’s famously safe rail system carries deadly risks for its maintenance crews.
