As a European I consider trains to be the most comfortable way of traveling available today.
Planes have these awkward boarding procedures and trains, even in economy, have nice amounts of moving space.<p>It is so mind-boggling to me how train-to-train crashes can occur. You can naively assume this must be one of the easier things to prevent. Especially in a highly developed country like Germany.<p>Does this mean train infrastructure (in Europe) is so outdated? Or why does this seem to happen fairly often?<p><i>Edit:</i> According to the Wikipedia list mentioned below there seems to be a train-to-train collision about every 2 years in (Western) Europe. Let&#x27;s not focus on whether that is a lot or not, but what generalizations can be made about their causes.
