Initial reports suggested the train collided with an excavator near the track, though it wasn\u2019t immediately clear why an excavator would have been close to the train track in the dark. One official suggested it could have been part of a repair project.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s President Ebrahim Raisi offered condolences over the crash and announced an investigation would be undertaken into its causes. On Wednesday night, authorities ordered the arrest of six people allegedly involved in causing the crash, though they released no other information about why they were suspected.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s worst train disaster came in 2004, when a runaway train loaded with gasoline, fertilizer, sulfur and cotton crashed near the historic city of Neyshabur, killing some 320 people, injuring 460 others and damaging five villages.
