Den olycksaliga natten mot den 15 november 1875. Den hÀr natten möttes de bÄda nattsnÀlltÄgen mellan Stockholm och Malmö front mot front vid Lagerlunda. Olyckan intrÀffade strax före bron över LagerlundaÄn.Det sydgÄende tÄget nr i frÄn Stockholm till Malmö och det norrgÄende tÄget nr 2, skulle enligt tidtabellen mötas i Linköping klockan 00,27.Vid midnatt fick tÄgledaren i Linköping telegrain frÄn TranÄs som meddelade att tÄg nr 2, frÄn Malmö, var cirka en timma försenat. Han bestÀmde dÀrför att flytta mötet mellan tÄgen till Bankeberg. Order skickades till Bankeberg dÀr stationsinspektorn personligen mottog och kvitterade ordern om den nya mötesplatsenI Linköping fick personalen pÄ tÄg nr 1 personlig order av tÄgledaren att fortsÀtta till Bankeberg och dÀr möta det försenade tÄg nr 2.TÄget avgick frÄn Linköping klockan 01,10 och tÄgledaren anmÀlde "tÄg ut" till Bankeberg dÀr det mottogs av stationsinspektorn.Under tiden hade stationsinspektorn i Bankeberg förberett mötet genom att tjÀnstgörande stationskarlen hade lagt om norra vÀxeln till spÄr 2 sÄ att tÄg nr 1 skulle gÄ in sidospÄret. DÀrefter gick stationskarlen till semaforen för att dÀr lyssna till ankomstsignalen frÄn tÄg nr 2. Han hade Àven strÀnga order att under inga som helst omstÀndigheter stÀlla semaforen till "kör", utan han skulle bara meddela stationsinspektorn nÀr tÄg nr 2 hördes.Strax efter det att stationsinspektorn kommit ut pÄ plattformen gav tÄg nr 2 ankomstsignal. Han sade till stationskarlen att ge sig ivÀg till norra vÀxeln. Semaforen stod pÄ stopp och stÀlldes inte till "kör varsamt" förrÀn tÄg nr 2 hunnit innanför den södra vÀxeln. Detta för att inte lokomotivföraren skulle komma in med för hög hastighet.Stationsinspektorn antog att tÄgpersonalen hade blivit informerade om att de skulle möta tÄg nr 1 hÀr, (vilket de inte hade blivit) men han tyckte ÀndÄ att tÄget hade för hög fart varför han visade stopp med handsignallyktans gröna sken redan dÄ tÄget var vid södra Àndan av plattformen. Sannolikt uppfattades signalen av lokföraren dÄ han "blÄste" upprepade bromssignaler.TÄgets hastighet var dock sÄ hög att det inte fick stopp förrÀn det passerat den norra vÀxeln. Stationsinspektorn antog att lokföraren uppfattat stoppsignalen och skulle backa tillbaka till plattformen. Stationskarlen som inte hade hunnit fram till norra vÀxeln passerades av det avstannande tÄget. TÄgbefÀlhavaren ropade en frÄga ull honom om vÀggrindarna strax norr om stationen, en frÄga som Àven besvarades.Nu hÀnde nÄgot helt ovÀntat tÄget som nÀstan hade stannat ökade plötsligt farten och fortsatte. Detta iakttogs frÄn plattformen bÄde av stationsinspektorn och en banvakt som uppehöll sig dÀr. Banvakten skyndade efter tÄget och visade upprepade stoppsignaler med sin handsignallyktas röda sken, Àven stationskarlen gjorde samma sak. Dessa signaler uppfattades inte frÄn tÄget, mycket pÄ grund av den snöyra som rÄdde för tillfÀlletNÄgra minuter senare intrÀffade olyckan, strax före bron över LagerlundaÄn. BÄda tÄgen bestod av A-lok, packvagn, postvagn, en andra klass-, tvÄ första klass-, tvÄ andraklass personvagnar samt ytterligare en packvagn.Vid kollisionen reste sig tÄg nr 1: s lok "SVEA" och nr 2:s lok "EINAR" upp mot varandra. "Sveas" tender kilade in sig under loket medan "Einars" tender kastades Ät sidan. BÄda loken totalförstördes tillsammans med tvÄ första och tvÄ andra klass personvagnar samt tvÄ post- och tvÄ packvagnar.PÄ tÄg 1 dödades lokeldaren, vagnssmörjaren samt en sta
