I was just examining photos on Yahoo of the wreck in China today that killed 70. Pretty awful looking pictures. I posted a travelogue last year about my experiences in January, 2007 in the Travelogue forum titled " Several Chinese trains. " The equipment looks very familiar. Those trains move huge masses of people, although they certainly were not my idea of cushy train travel. My prayers are with these casualties.
