1900 train accident
On 22 December 1900 at 21:00 an Express train from Amsterdam collided head-to-head with a Regional rail from Almelo to Apeldoorn. These trains normally pass each other at Bathmen, but because of an delay of the express train the crossing needed to happen at Twello. The crash happened because the person who takes care of the Railroad switch failed to set a switch, causing the express train to collide with the stationary regional train.
