Bus depots and train stations-particularly in the north, including Delhi, and the northeast-have become favorite targets of separatists, who employ remote-detonated bombs in their ongoing campaigns of murder and terror. Almost daily attacks typically kill and injure dozens of people. Between 300 and 500 people die in train crashes each year. Much of the train system in India is manually controlled. The first train began in 1853; in 1997 there were still 85 steam trains operating. Eleven million people ride the 39,000 miles of rails each day. The death rate per mile of track equals that of Europe.
