巴基斯坦的铁路系统长期遭受投资不足、轨道老化和信号系统陈旧的问题，列车事故相对较为常见。2023年，巴基斯坦南部一列客运列车有10节车厢脱轨，造成30人死亡，90多人受伤。
Train accidents are relatively common in Pakistan, where the railway system has suffered from decades of underinvestment, outdated tracks and aging signal systems. In 2023, ten cars of a passenger train derailed in southern Pakistan, killing 30 people and injuring more than 90 others.
