Lagerlunda rail accident
1875 rail accident in Sweden
The Lagerlunda rail accident occurred in the early hours of 15 November 1875 about 8 km (5.0 mi) west of Linköping in Östergötland, Sweden. Unclear signalling between a station master and a steam engine driver led to a train leaving the station although another train was approaching on the single line track. Nine people were killed in the head-on collision shortly after.
