The accident occurred at about 4 a.m. when a train sitting in a station near Ghotki, in southern Sindh province, was rear-ended by a second train, said Abdul Aziz, a senior controller at Pakistan Railways.
The collision caused several carriages to derail and spill over onto another track, where they were struck by a third train, causing further derailment, he said.
"It is a very gruesome situation," local police chief Agha Mohammed Tahir told The Associated Press. "Rescue workers have started to pull the dead and injured out. There were many people inside and there are a lot of casualties."
He said 60 bodies had been recovered, and hundreds of people were injured.

You mean they actually have POLICE over in the Middle East? Shocking!!
There was a hurricane that blew through Pensacola, FL over the weekend. Was it terror?
Don't mean to laugh, but THAT is flippin' hysterical!!!
AMTRAK goes to Pakistan?
Hmmmmm...Madrid, London, Pakistan....Heavens what a coincidence.
And now back to Aruba and Rove.
Somebody has to enforce Islamofacism.
How long until there are Muslim media reports that there were Israelis scheduled to take those trains who got tipped off that an "accident" was going to happen and didn't get on the trains?
LOL! I've been on trains in Italy that were comparable to this image following regional football (soccer) tournaments. Getting home can be quite challenging!
We can at least hope Osama and Omar where on one of these trains.
OMG, how awful! Prayers for both the dead and the injured.
