An interpretation board was unveiled in Priory Road Cemetery, Huntingdon to commemorate the disaster.
The ceremony, which took place on January 22, saw the Huntingdon community come together to remember the lives lost in the Abbots Ripton Rail Disaster.
The disaster took place on January 21, 1876, when three trains were involved in a crash. 13 passengers died, and 53 passengers and 6 traincrew members were injured.
Three victims are buried in Priory Road Cemetery, where the unveiling ceremony took place.
Huntingdon residents, history enthusiasts and Huntingdon Town councillors attended the ceremony.
An interpretation board was unveiled, which details the events of the Abbots Ripton Rail Disaster as well as some background information on some of the victims.
The ceremony was organised by Huntingdon Town Council, and the interpretation board was unveiled by Councillor Phil Pearce, Mayor of Huntingdon, and Charles Saunders.
Charles is a Huntingdon resident who recently restored the grave of Dion William Boucicault, who was a victim of the Abbots Ripton Rail Disaster and is buried in Priory Road Cemetery.
The ceremony also saw prayers of remembrance led by the Mayor's chaplain, Reverend Jon Randell, opposite the grave of Dion William Boucicault.
A closing prayer was held adjacent to the graves of Miss M and Miss E Burdon Sanderson, who also died in the Abbots Ripton Rail Disaster.
Cllr Phil Pearce, Mayor of Huntingdon, said: "We gather today to honour the lives lost in the Abbots Ripton Rail Disaster.
"This interpretation board serves as a lasting tribute, recounting the events of that historic day and paying tribute to the individuals who perished.
"May this space become a site of reflection and remembrance, ensuring the memory of the disaster lives on for generations to come."
Huntingdon Town Council have plans to further commemorate the Abbots Ripton Rail Disaster to mark the 150th anniversary in 2026.
