Los Angeles - The death toll from the worst train crash in southern California history mounted Saturday with at least 17 people dead and 135 injured.
As hundreds of rescue workers continued to sift through the mangled wreckage, officials warned grimly that the casualty figures were expected to rise.

Los Angeles - Republican presidential candidate John McCain has set a television ratings record - 38.9 million viewers watched his acceptance speech on Thursday night, according to figures released Friday by ratings firm Nielsen Media Research.
Thursday was also the opening night of the American football season. The New York Giants-Washington Redskins game ended minutes before McCain took to the stage.
McCain's viewing figures narrowly exceeded the 38.4 million viewers who tuned in to watch Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama last week.
Los Angeles - The prime time speech of Republican vice presidential pick, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, at the party's national convention on Wednesday night was watched by more than 37 million viewers on US television, according to tracking firm Nielsen Media Research.

Los Angeles - Barack Obama's speech accepting the Democratic Party's nomination for the presidency was watched by more than 38 million people - making it the ratings hit of the summer - according to figures released Friday by Nielsen Media Research.
The historic address Thursday by the country's first African- American presidential candidate was more popular than the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.
Los Angeles - It was meant to be Barack Obama's big moment - his first speech as his party's official candidate for president.
The preparations had been painstaking - a mass rally at a Denver football field designed to showcase the popular appeal that had allowed Obama to leapfrog the Clinton political machine and become the first black presidential nominee.
But if Obama thought that his opponent John McCain would sit back Thursday night and applaud admiringly he had another think coming.
