A crowd descended on the intersection near the town of Bilaydah
in the city of Al-Ayat, where a train earlier killed two
children trying to cross, according to the Egyptian National
Railways.
They attacked the guard who was securing the level crossing and
set fire to his room, officials said. It wasn't immediately
clear what happened to the guard.
Local media reported that the two children were on their way to
school.
Train accidents are common in Egypt. A train crash earlier this
month killed one person and injured more than 20 others in
southern Egypt.
In recent years, the government has announced initiatives to
improve railways.
