Rescue workers removed 79 bodies from the carnage of the train derailment in the eastern Indian state of Bihar, reports said on Wednesday.
Thirty-eight passengers remained unaccounted for, as heavy rains continued to hamper rescue efforts.
The mishap was the worst train disaster to hit India since June 2001.
Nine bodies were recovered on Wednesday morning while more than 70 were removed from the wreckage on Tuesday, the Star News channel reported.
Survivors accused the authorities of providing inadequate rescue and relief services.
”My father is inside. I do not known whether he is dead or alive,” one of the passengers told the channel.
Eyewitnesses said 38 people are still believed to be trapped in the coaches, according to reports.
Some 182 people injured in the crash were admitted to hospitals in nearby Gaya and Rafiganj. About 320 people reportedly left the scene unscathed. Officials said exact figures were unknown.
According to railway officials, about 600 people were on board the Rajdhani Express when it jumped the rails sending several cars off the 85-year-old bridge, 1 000 kilometres east of New Delhi.
One car plummeted five metres into the Dhavi river, while three remained suspended, hanging from the bridge.
While Railway Minister Nitish Kumar hinted at sabotage, Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani and Bihar state railway police called it an accident.
The Asian Age newspaper reported that experts who had examined the bridge recently described it as ”distressed”.
The train was on its way from Calcutta to New Delhi when the derailment occurred on Monday night. – Sapa-DPA
