Officials initially put the death toll at four but several bodies were dragged some distance, police said.
The gate of the manned crossing on the Sugauli-Semra track had been left open when a rickshaw drove into the path of the Rapti Ganga Express.
The driver of the overcrowded rickshaw and a family from the nearby Chinauta village were among the victims.
The gateman at the Semra railway station and two other staff members have been suspended for negligence of duty.

Overcrowded rickshaw, much the same as many taxis in South Africa, and always result in disaster when involved in road and rail accidents. A poor rail safety system makes things even worse.
