Sydney - Rescuers worked deep into the night searching for bodies in the tangled wreckage of two trains that collided in the mountains outside Sydney, killing up to 12 people and injuring more than 50. Investigators suspect a signal failure led a commuter train to round a blind corner outside Sydney during the morning rush and slammed into the back of the transcontinental Indian Pacific, with 159 passengers aboard, many of them elderly tourists.
