This comes after in February, Egypt's capital Cairo has witnessed a train crash at the Ramses railway station in the center of Cairo which caused a major fire and claimed the lives of at least two dozen people. The reason of the tragedy was  a banal quarrel between the drivers of two diesel locomotives, according to Egyptian Prosecutor General Nabil Sadek.
