East Alexandria Prosecution decided on Sunday to remand in custody for 15 days the drivers of the two trains which collided on Friday in Alexandria pending investigations.
Two of the drivers' assistants were also jailed, while the employees and workers of the train stations were released.
Prosecution also ordered taking blood and urine samples of the drivers to check if they are drug addicts.
Two passenger trains crashed in Alexandria on Friday, leaving behind at least 41 people dead and 132 others injured.
The crash occurred at a small station in the district of Khorshid, just east of Alexandria, when one train travelling from the capital, Cairo, hit the back of another, stationary train, travelling from Port Said.
