One also has to consider the way of life of the people who live by the tracks. Remember the term "wrong side of the tracks", which came from the fact that smoke from the locomotives would be blown by the prevailing winds, usually the west. People who live by tracks usually don't have much choice, the standard of living is much lower there, not much in the way of industry unless you're in oil, and then it's state-owned anyway. Pay isn't a heck of a lot. Regardless of the policies of the Government of Iran, the fact remains that these were people who were killed by a train. I'm not assessing blame, I'm just stating fact.
