Well actually. Trains are designed now to not have "telescoping" crashes. If you think the trains being sturdy doesn't lead to a reduction in loss of life in these collisions.. Well it could be much, much worse.
I'm not familiar with all the safety features in design now, but there are quite a few. I wouldn't be surprised if they are designed to deflect and derail during collision now.
