Twello train accident

The Twello train accident was a railway accident on 22 December 1900 at 21:00 in front of the Twello railway station, Twello, in the Netherlands. The express train from Amsterdam collided head-to-head with a regional train from Almelo to Apeldoorn. Normally these trains pass each other at Bathmen, but due to a delay of the express train, the crossing was changed to Twello. The crash happened because the person who takes care of the railroad switch failed to set a switch, allowing two trains on the same track. The express train then collided with the stationary regional train. Two men from Deventer died. Five passengers were seriously injured and two conductors sustained minor injuries. Two station officials were sentenced in January 1901 to six weeks' imprisonment.
