You can find everywhere that flying is about 10 times saver than taking the train but even though flying is very safe and you only hear about a fatal incident maybe 1-2 times a year, the last time I hear about a train crash was more than 3 years ago.
So my best guesses are either 1. European trains are safer than flying but Amtrak or Trains in India which seem way less regulated have occasional deaths making taking the train the worse methods
People jumping in front of trains/cars stuck on crossings etc. count for a death by train.
I just seem to have bad information and people are dying in train crashes way more often it's just never really reported to the point I notice
Flying with all it's regulations is actually safer than trains from a technical standpoint and all the safety regulations on trains fail more often than on a flight
That's the beauty of a technology that post-dates the invention of safety standards.
