At least 49 people have been killed and more than 600 injured in the worst train crash in Argentina in 40 years, officials say.

The train hit the end of the platform at Once station in the capital Buenos Aires during the morning rush hour.

"We assume that there was some fault in the brakes," Transportation Secretary JP Schiavi said.

Dozens of people were trapped for hours in the wreckage but all have now been successfully taken to safety.

The government declared two days of mourning and called off planned carnival festivities in the country.

Jumble of metal

"The train was full and the impact was tremendous," a passenger identified as Ezequiel told local television after the crash on Wednesday.

Medics at the scene were overwhelmed by the casualties, he added.

"People started to break windows and get out however they could," another eyewitness told Reuters.

"Then I saw the engine destroyed and the train driver trapped amongst the steel. There were a lot of people hurt, a lot of kids, elderly," the eyewitness added.

Police outside Once station had to "keep back the curious and concerned as paramedics treated the injured", eyewitness Tom English told the BBC.

My favourite Subject

School: _________________

Subject: English.

Course: 3°

Full name: ___________________________

I have got two favourite subjects. The first one is history because I think that the person who can comprehend historic events can understand how the world works and develop in the society more successfully. My favourite second subject is literature and philosophy because Literature transport/leads you to a world of fantasy, love, romance and fiction. In addition, Philosophy is the science of doubt and it helps to question the world and make us realize that in a way we are living in a cave and we are seeing the shadows not the real truth.
