The injuries of the survivors did not appear to be life-threatening，Yamagata police spokesman Yoshikatsu Oe said.It was unclear how many passengers were on the train，but Oe said most of the injured were in the first two cars.
The dead included two men and two women, and rescuers planned to lift the wreckage(殘骸)later in the day to see if any other passengers remained beneath，officials said.
