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.[1]
