Death Toll

Right now, the Washington Post is reporting at least 45 people dead. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/train-in-northern-india-derails-killing-at-least-24-people/2016/11/19/316709e2-aec6-11e6-8f19-21a1c65d2043_story.html) Should that be updated, or should I wait until we can get more final numbers?Dragonfly1002 (talk) 04:27, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

78 passengers received railway insurance. We should be including that update. Here's the link. Rajendra B. Aklekar (talk) 10:57, 28 November 2016 (UTC)(http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/78-passengers-of-Indore-Patna-Express-are-eligible-for-insurance-IRCTC/articleshow/55605279.cms)

A or An

English is not my first language. Would it be an Indian Railways train, or a Indian Railways train? Same for Indore-Patna Express. Dat GuyTalkContribs 09:27, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

@DatGuy: - An is correct in both cases. Mjroots (talk) 18:57, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Number of passengers

Is it known how many passengers were on board the train at the time of derailment? 23.233.82.54 (talk) 22:05, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

This source says "the train carried 1,000 people travelling on reservations, but 700 more were estimated to have squeezed into the unreserved carriages." 45.124.224.232 (talk) 14:00, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
