The signals above the bridge are known as "Upper Quadrant Signals" introduced in NSW by signal engineer CB Byles in 1913, therefore the icident must have occurred after 1913. 1870 is way off.

I would like to find out more information about this train crash but none seems to be available. It would have been big news at the time.
