[1] The express train from Amsterdam (Sneltrein 238; pulled by an NS 1600) collided head-to-head with a regional train (Stoptrein 927; pulled by an NS 1600) 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.

Five passengers were seriously injured and two conductors sustained minor injuries.

Two station officials were sentenced in January 1901 to six weeks' imprisonment.
