An injured passenger is treated at a hospital in Kanpur on Nov. 20, 2016 after a deadly train derailment near Pukhrayan in Kanpur district, India.

Rescue workers, soldiers and members of India's disaster management force pulled 104 bodies from the wreckage, said Chaudhary, inspector-general of police in Uttar Pradesh state.

Daljeet Chaudhary, a director general of police, said the death toll was likely to rise because rescue workers had yet to gain access to one of the worst-damaged coaches. About 150 people were injured, he said.
