Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Abergele rail disaster took place near Abergele, North Wales, in August 1868. At the time, it was the worst railway disaster to have occurred in Great Britain.

Summary from Cymraeg / Welsh Wikipedia (cywiki)

Digwyddodd damwain drên Abergele ar 20 Awst 1868: lladdwyd 33 o bobl pan fu gwrthdrawiad rhwng trên post a wageni a oedd wedi 'rhedeg yn rhydd'. Roedd y wageni yma'n llawn tanwydd. Ceisiodd gweithwyr y rheilffordd a phobl eraill ddiffod y tân drwy ffurfio cadwyn a llenwi bwcedi â dŵr o'r môr. Fel canlyniad i'r ddamwain - mabwysiadwyd rheolau diogelwch llymach ar reilffyrdd.
