Nope. No one's hurt in the accident, everyone walks away fine. This one's pretty tricky- when I first heard it, it took about a month for me to get it.

Does it have something to do with the unnecessary capital letters? (I know I've seen this before but I can't remember it)

A Signalman Falls Asleep At His Post And Two Trains Collide With Each Other. There Isn't A Single Injury, But Two People Are Dead On The Police List. How Does This Happen?

Edit: Every time...I don't see all the posts before mine. Very annoying.
Answer:

The two people dead are from another accident, the list doesn't refer to the train crash.

Answer 2:

There is someone on each train who has a heart attack and dies, so they didn't have injuries but they still died.

The two dead people are the engineers who died at the wheel causing the trains to crash.

Quizbowl's right.

Two more:
A rope broke, a bell rang, a man fell to his death. What happened?

Near Chicago's O'Hare Airport, a man is frozen and dead in the middle of a park. What happened?

You can ask yes/no questions to find the answer.

Does the bell directly link to the man's death?

Did the man freeze to death or is he frozen due to something else?

He froze to death, but there's more to it. Everything's there for a reason.
