The disaster occurred when two trains - one running late and one running early - switched places in the schedule, and the signal man in the tower mistook one for the other. The track was set for a different train, accidentally sending the highspeed "Midnight Flyer" from Camden bound for Atlantic City on the switch and tight curve toward Cape May, causing it to fly off the tracks. The wreck killed between 6 and 9 people, but ultimately led to inconclusive investigations and no new regulations.
