Both the transport minister and the head of the railway authority were forced to resign   as a result  of the crash, which took place in November near Manfalut, 350km south of Cairo. Investigations later showed the barriers   at the crossing were not closed because the signal operator had fallen asleep. Monday's incident occurred as the army train was heading from Upper Egypt into Cairo.  Reports say more than 1,300 passengers were aboard the train when the accident happened shortly after midnight. The passengers wounded in the accident have been taken to hospitals, the governor of Giza said.  An eyewitness told BBC Arabic that he saw two dozen dead bodies at the scene of the accident.
