A train busy with holiday travelers derailed in a tunnel in Taiwan because a truck or construction equipment rolled down the embankment as the train was at the mouth of the tunnel. 51 dead at latest count, dozens injured. NY Times article. CNN article. BBC article. NPR article. The NPR article indicates that it was the railway's own equipment, working to shore up landslides on the embankment.
As an aside, it seems a bit crass, and more than a bit unfair, for the BBC to dig up incidents (most not railway related) going back to 2014 in an effort to cast vague and general aspersions on Taiwan's safety culture.
