Two bodies were found earlier Thursday morning at the scene of the accident, followed by the body of a third victim, a 16-year-old girl previously missing, the Russian Investigative Committee said in a statement.
The Russian Health Ministry said 40 people were injured, seven of them seriously.
The train had 14 cars. 9 of them overturned. Russian Railways said there were a total of 232 people on the train.
The exact cause of the accident remains unclear, but it may have been triggered by heavy rains which washed away the railway embankment.
