Police and rail authorities say at least nine people, including two children, are dead after a train collided with a bus in Zimbabwe. The crash occurred Tuesday at a railway crossing in Triangle, a sugar-producing town in the south. A freight train collided with the bus, according to police. National Railways of Zimbabwe spokesperson Andrew Kanambura said the bus driver failed to stop and check for oncoming trains, violating railway safety regulations. At least 25 others were hurt. Road crashes are common in Zimbabwe, where a traffic accident occurs every 15 minutes, according to the country’s road safety agency.

Renderings of a dramatically redesigned Pennsylvania Station in New York City have been released by Amtrak and the developers it has selected for the estimated $8 billion project. The redesign released Monday shows a return to hub’s original classical style, with a stone facade and rows of Roman-style columns. Inside, commuters are greeted by a sun-drenched grand concourse with soaring ceilings. There’s bronze finishings and other ornamental details, like a bas relief of the city’s famous skyline and a large, classic station clock. An interior wall near a entryway bears the seal of President Donald Trump.
A fire on an Amtrak maintenance train near New York’s Penn Station has injured five people and disrupted service for many commuters. The overnight fire caused train delays in New Jersey Transit and Amtrak rail service into New York and briefly suspended the Long Island Rail Road service on Friday. Amtrak said the fire happened around 1:25 a.m. just outside of the Hudson River tunnels that run from Penn Station to New Jersey. The agency said service to New Jersey and points south has resumed but service to points north and east of New York still has delays. Fire officials report 100 firefighters responded, and two of the injured were taken to a hospital.
Trains are set to start rolling again on the Long Island Rail Road after a deal was reached to end a strike that had shut down the busiest commuter rail system in the country. Commuters in the New York City suburbs still had to muddle through another tough morning rush hour Tuesday. Trains weren't running in time for the commute into work, though service was set to resume later in the day. The strike that began Saturday was the first walkout for the LIRR since a two-day strike in 1994. Around 250,000 riders typically travel each weekday on the train system.
