Amtrak train derails in Kansas
About 20 people people have been injured in the US after an Amtrak train derailed 20 miles (32km) west of Dodge City, Kansas.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35801244 None of the injuries were life-threatening and emergency services were at the scene, the company said in a statement. There were 128 passengers and 14 crew on board the train when the accident happened just after midnight local time (05:00 GMT). US Highway 50 has been closed as a result, Reuters reported. Eight people were killed last May when a New York-bound Amtrak train derailed in Philadelphia. That train was travelling at over twice the speed limit, safety experts say. http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cps...9_88755706.jpg
