A tragic railway accident in Japan has left four station workers dead after an express train struck them at Shin-Kanuma Station in Kanuma City, north of Tokyo. The workers were part of a seven-person crew removing weeds from around the tracks when the Tokyo-bound Spacia X express approached the station and hit them. All four workers were confirmed dead, while none of the roughly 50 passengers onboard the six-car train were injured. The incident occurred on the Tobu Nikko Line, which connects the Greater Tokyo area with Nikko in Tochigi Prefecture. Passengers reported sudden emergency braking as the train came to a stop following the impact. Japan is known globally for its highly advanced and reliable railway system, making fatal rail accidents of this kind extremely rare. Authorities and the train operator are expected to examine how the workers came to be on the tracks as the express train approached and whether existing safety procedures were properly followed
