Abstract :

 Railway accidents are a leading cause of accidental deaths in India. Hence a study to find the injury patterns in such deaths can lead to predicting and mitigating such deaths. In our study it is found that separation of the body following accident is not an uncommon occurrence.  Most of the victims sustain injuries over head and face area followed by both upper and lower limbs. It is found that crush injuries topped the list of injuries followed by aasion and then laceration. Self–vigilance on the part of the passengers and adherence to the rules & regulations safe practices will help prevent railway accidents.
