evidence: The Tsunami waves inundated the coastal railway tracks in Sri Lanka, and the crowded passenger train named "Samudradevi" or "Queen of the Sea" was among the many victims of the disaster. Devastating waves hit the train as it traveled from Colombo to Galle. Experts opined that the death toll from this Sri Lanka tsunami train wreck was around 1,700 passengers, branding it among the worst single-rail disasters in world history. The genesis was the notorious 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. In that one event, there were over 230,000 reported deaths across several countries, including extensive damage to the local and inland coastal communities.
