Proposed is a train derailment and rollover preventing system to improve train safety. To prevent derailment and rollover of a train vehicle, the train vehicle can have a magnetic roller coupled to a magnet roller holder which can space apart the magnetic roller from the wheel. The wheel may be coupled to a wheel shaft which may be coupled to a train vehicle chassis and the magnetic roller holder may be coupled to the train vehicle chassis. The magnetic roller holder may include a shock adsorber positioned between the train vehicle chassis and the magnetic roller. The magnetic roller may include at least one of a permanent magnet or an electric magnet to supply a magnetic force. The magnetic force may be in a range of one hundred pounds pulling force to five thousand pounds pulling force. A train vehicle may be a locomotive or a train car in a train.
