- On August 12, 1853, two Providence and Worcester Railroad passenger trains collided head-on in Valley Falls, Rhode Island. The accident resulted in 14 fatalities and a further 17 injuries. The cause of the accident was the engineer of the northbound train misjudging the railroad timetable. At the time, trains operated based on a fixed timetable, without any railroad signaling system in place. The collision was one of the first to be photographed. (en)
