About Winchburgh Rail Crash
The Winchburgh rail crash occurred on Monday 13 October 1862, 1 ¹⁄₂ miles northwest of Winchburgh in Linlithgowshire. At that point, the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway passes through a cutting on a curve. On the day of the accident, only one line was in use due to track maintenance when two trains met head-on.
