 AMAGASAKI, Japan (AP) - Workers hauled away mangled railway cars on Saturday as they cleaned up the site of Japan's worst train crash in four decades, while police said the death toll rose to 107 after a woman pulled from the wreckage several days ago died.
Also, the train's operator said it would consider revising its tight timetable to ease the pressure on drivers. Investigators believe the driver of the train that crashed Monday was speeding right before the derailment to make up time.
The front cars of the train, which workers had to pry loose from the apartment building it plowed into, were transported to a warehouse, where investigators continued their probe into the crash, said Hyogo state police spokesman Tomohiro Okubo.
