Two weeks ago, I posted a map of the worst railroad disasters to take place in the US since 1925. This time, it will be the 11 worst worldwide since then (those with 200 or more deaths). In reality, the 11 occurred between 1933 and 1986.
The list is:
Red~Dec 23, 1933 - Lagny-Pomponne, France (230 deaths);48.874740;2.708983
Blue~Jan 16, 1944 - Province of León, Spain (500 deaths);42.236155;-4.671297
Green~March 2, 1944 - Salerno, Italy (521 deaths);40.685553;14.749151
Orange~Oct 22, 1949 - Near Dwor, Poland (200 + deaths);52.790134;23.244417
Teal~April 3, 1955 - Guadalajara, Mexico (300 deaths);20.669272;-103.336994
Purple~Sept 29, 1957 - Montgomery, West Pakistan (300 deaths);30.322330;68.742506
Chocolate~Feb 1, 1970 - Buenos Aires, Argentina (236 deaths);-34.615291;-58.499833
Black~Oct 6, 1972 - Near Saltillo, Mexico (204 deaths);25.434572;-100.989067
Teal~June 6, 1981 - Near Mansi, India (268 deaths);25.531817;86.562508
Purple~Jan 13, 1985 - Awash, Ethiopia (392 deaths);8.996644;40.168158
Chocolate~Aug 6, 1986 - Bihar, India (202 deaths);25.564981;86.545658
Here is the map that is created from that list, along with a caption segment I added:
As you may have noticed, pushpin #9 is not visible. That’s because it is hidden behind #11; I had to zoom way in to create enough visual separation between those two locations (nearly 500 killed and hundreds of others injured in just a five-year span in that part of India):
