The Exeter crossing loop collision was a railway accident that occurred between the Temora Mail Train and a goods train at Exeter railway station, New South Wales, on 16 March 1914, just before the line was duplicated.
The crash happened in a fog. The goods train was too long to be moved to the loop and the other train failed to see the signals.
The collision killed 14. [cite web | title = Emergency Management Disasters Database | publisher = Attorney-General of Australia | url = http://www.ema.gov.au/ema/emadisasters.nsf/c85916e930b93d50ca256d050020cb1f/ea0ea4f99db227e6ca256d3300058101?OpenDocument | accessdate = 5 September 2008]
