  Amagasaki rail crash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is because at stations (including the train's next scheduled stop, Amagasaki Station) trains meet on both sides of the same platform to allow people to transfer between express and local trains running on the same line.
As a result of this, Masataka Ide, JR West adviser who played a major role in enforcing the punctuality of the company's trains, announced that he would resign in June 2005 at the company's annual shareholder meeting, with the company's chairman and president resigning in August.
The section where the crash occurred, between Amagasaki and Takarazuka stations, was re-opened for service on June 19, 2005.

AMAGASAKI, Japan (AP) — Ayumi Tanaka never worried about living within yards of the railway tracks — until a train slammed into her apartment building.
A probe into possible negligence by operator West Japan Railway Co. has focused on the actions of the 23-year-old driver, his lack of experience and suspicions that the train was speeding before it derailed.
The train that crashed Monday was 90 seconds behind schedule — a significant delay in Japan and a headache for passengers traveling through Amagasaki on any one of three lines that use the same stretch of track.
