Speeding trains killed two elephants in separate collisions over the past week in India, officials said Sunday.
A passenger train hit an elephant as it crossed a track in the northern Dooars region of eastern India's West Bengal state Saturday night, said Tapas Bose, a forest officer in the district.
A few days earlier, another elephant died after a freight train knocked it over in a densely forested area also in the Dooars region, Bose said.
He said trains have killed at least six elephants in the area since January.
