The train's 32-year-old driver, a 36-year-old apprentice and a 70-year-old passenger were killed, police said Monday. Some of the 41 injured were seriously hurt. Police said the downpours in the area caused a sewage shaft to overflow, likely triggering the landslide of an embankment where the derailment occurred. There was no evidence of an external influence that could have caused the derailment, police said. Photos from the scene showed parts of the train on its side as rescuers climbed atop the carriages. 'Such pictures shake us to the core,' Deutsche Bahn CEO Richard Lutz said Monday, offering his condolences to the victims' families. He pledged full support for the effort to clear up the cause. — Geir Moulson in Berlin contributed to this report. Canada Sunshine Girls Editorial Cartoons Editorials Sports
