Survivors and relatives of victims marked Monday the 11th anniversary of the train derailment in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture, that killed 107 people.
West Japan Railway Co., better known as JR West, held a memorial ceremony attended by about 900 people at a municipal facility not far from the accident site.
"Each and every one of our employees will participate in the continued efforts to maintain a safe service," JR West President Seiji Manabe said at the ceremony.
