1901

  • April 12 – United States – A head-end collision of a work train and a through freight train occurred near Pineville, Kentucky killing two.[9][10]
  • May 26 - United States - “Electric cars racing for a switch while running in opposite directions, at the rate of 40 miles per hour (64 km/h), cost five lives in the afternoon by a terrific collision, in which over forty prominent people were injured, some fatally and others seriously. The lobby of the local post office filled with dead and wounded, hysterical women and children looking for relatives and friends, surgeons administering temporary relief and ambulances racing through the city, taking the wounded to hospitals, were the early intimation of the accident. The scene of the accident was at a point about 2 miles (3.2 km) out of Greenbush, on the line of the Albany & Hudson railway. The point where the cars met on the single track was at a sharp curve, and so fast were both running and so sudden was the collision that the motormen never had time to put on the brakes before southbound car No. 22 had gone almost clean through the northbound car No. 17, and hung on the edge of a high bluff, with its load of shrieking, maimed humanity. One motorman was pinioned up against the smashed front of the southbound car, with both legs severed, and was killed instantly, while the other one lived but a few minutes.
    Fully 120 men, women and children formed a struggling, shrieking pyramid framed with blood, detached portions of human bodies and the wreckage of cars. Some of the more slightly injured of the men extricated themselves and began to pull people out of the rear ends of the two cars. Almost every one was taken out in this way, and nearly all were badly injured. With both motormen killed it was hard to get at the real cause of the accident, but it was pretty well determined that it was caused by an attempt of the south bound car to reach a second switch instead of waiting for the north bound car at the first siding.
    The cars weigh fifteen tons each and are the largest electric cars built, and so frightful was the crash that both cars were torn almost to splinters. Both cars were filled with Sunday pleasure seekers returning from the new recreation grounds that the railway had just opened."from the BROOKLYN EAGLE May 27, 1901.
    Sixteen months later tragedy struck again, and a young woman and a small boy were killed in a collision at Rossman's Station. Marjorie Hoysradt, 20, and Edward Doyle, 5, were among the "thousands of people" who had taken the railway's cars to enjoy a summer outing at Electric Park. According to The New York Times of August 2, 1902, cars were running at high speed to accommodate the crowds when the accident occurred.
  • June 8 – United States – A double-header freight train collided with a stopped freight train carrying 12 tons of dynamite on the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad in Vestal, New York killing five and injuring seven.[11][12]
  • October 29 – United StatesLinwood, North Carolina. The second of two northbound special trains carrying part of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show towards Danville collided head-on with a southbound Southern Railway freight train carrying a load of fertilizer. The engineer of the southbound train had been ordered to yield to the northbound traffic, but did not understand that there were two trains, setting up the head-on collision with the second train. The resulting crash severely injured Annie Oakley and killed many famous show animals, domestic and exotic, including fully 110 horses.[13]
  • November 27 – United StatesAdrian, Michigan. Two trains of the Wabash Railroad collided 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Seneca, Michigan. The westbound train was carrying Italian immigrants going west from New York. Estimates of casualties ranged from twelve[14] to 23[15] to 50-80[16] to 100 dead[17] with at least 50[18] to 125 injured.[19] The unknown dead were buried in Adrian's Oakwood Cemetery; the gravesite was marked September 25, 2016.[20]
  • December 6 – GermanyFrankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof. The luxury train Ostend-Vienna-Express, about 90 minutes late, reached the Frankfurt Terminus at about 5 a.m. The air brake failed due to a faulty valve which remained closed.[21] The locomotive overran the buffer stop, shot across the head of the platform and crashed through the opposite wall behind which the restaurant for 1st- and 2nd-class passengers was situated. There it came to a stop in midst of the tables covered with white table cloths and set for breakfast. The photograph of this scene became a favorite in most publications on the history of the Frankfurt Central Station. Nobody was hurt in the accident. In this early morning hour not many people were around, and the carriages of the Ostend-Vienna-Express had separated from the locomotive and remained on the rails. After a short time they were on their way to Vienna again. Some of the sleeping passengers hadn't even noticed the incident.[22] The Ostend-Vienna-Express carried through-coaches between Ostend and the Orient Express.
  • December 22 – United Kingdom – Liverpool, Dingle railway station. The line of the Liverpool Overhead Railway (LOR) to Dingle railway station was worked by electrically powered trains. Access to this underground station was through a tunnel about half a mile (800 m) long. On December 22, 1901 an engine of a train caught fire and the train stopped about 80 yards (73 m) before reaching the station. Soon all the train was on fire as well as the station. Six people died. This was the first major accident caused by an electrically powered train.[23]

  • January 8 – United StatesNew York City: A stopped New Haven express train from South Norwalk was rear-ended in the Park Avenue tunnel by a New York Central White Plains local, due to smoke and snow obscuring signals. Seventeen persons were killed and 36 injured, the worst rail accident in New York City history. The accident inspired the State Legislature to pass a law the next year prohibiting steam operation within the tunnels of New York City on the Park Avenue line south of the Harlem River.[24]
  • March 30 – South African RepublicBarberton rail crash – Between Barberton and Kaapmuiden, a passenger train ran away descending a gradient toward a sharp curve and a bridge over a gully where it derailed and one car fell into the gully killing at least 44 passengers.[25]
  • August 2 - United States - Albany Southern Railway - A young woman and a small boy were killed in a collision at Rossman's Station (near Albany, NY). Marjorie Hoysradt, 20, and Edward Doyle, 5, were among the "thousands of people" who had taken the railway's cars to enjoy a summer outing at Electric Park (on Kinderhook Lake in Niverville, NY). According to The New York Times of August 2, 1902, cars were running at high speed to accommodate the crowds when the accident occurred.
  • August 5 - United States - A Norfolk and Western Railway coal train fell though a trestle under repair near Peebles, Ohio. 1 killed and 4 injured.[26]

  • December 6 – CanadaNova Scotia, Six persons were killed in a wreck on the Intercolonial Railway, the Canadian Government railway, at noon near the station at Belmont, seventy miles (113 km) from Halifax. An express train for Montreal rolled down an embankment, completely wrecking the locomotive, the postal, express, and baggage cars and several passenger cars.[30]
  • December 20 – United StatesByron, California. The southbound Stockton Flyer crashed into the rear of the disabled Los Angeles Owl, killing 20 and injuring 25.

  • September 24 – United StatesNew Market train wreck, Jefferson County, Tennessee, two Southern Railway passenger trains, the Carolina Special and Local train No. 15, collided head-on near New Market, Tennessee when the crew of the three-car local failed to take the siding to allow the Carolina Special to pass. The impact knocked the boilers off both locomotives and the engine on the local was catapulted onto the first three wooden coaches of the Special. The impact caused the boilers of both locomotives to explode and the cars of the local passenger train to telescope. At the time, it was the worst wreck of its kind to ever occur in North America. Between 56 and 113 were killed.
  • October 10 – United StatesWarrensburg, Missouri, an eastbound Missouri Pacific Railroad passenger train, en route to the St. Louis World's Fair, collided head-on with a freight train killing twenty-seven and injuring thirty.[53]

Its speed carried the wreckage along the platforms of the station, and four of those on board the train, including the driver and fireman of the engine, and another driver and fireman travelling as passengers back to their home depot were killed. Two others, both railway staff, were seriously injured. A southbound train, from Manchester, then collided with the wreckage at low-speed causing damage to rolling stock but no further casualties.[54]
