At least 75 people have now been confirmed dead after Friday's freight train derailment in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
It was travelling between two villages in the southern Lualaba province - before several carriages came off the tracks and crashed into a ravine.
Because there are not enough passenger trains from the region, people often use the freight trains to travel long distances.
