A track foreman and his assistant are suspected of criminal negligence. Authorities say they failed to install a switch properly which may have led to the crash.
The exact cause of the accident is still a mystery. Investigators are also looking into whether that switch was defective.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Moscow observed a day of mourning as the death toll continues to rise.
