The crossing guard and the station manager, his superior, were both given prison sentences of five years.

As early as six months after the accident, on 28 December 1967, a new transport policy for dangerous goods was implemented.
Gated level crossings had to be verified closed before a permissive signal was given to trains, buses and dangerous goods also had to stop before crossing even at open level crossings.

Teacher Werner Moritz was honoured posthumously with the Fatherland Order of Merit.

In the Magdeburg West Cemetery, which had a memorial service on 11 July 1967, there is a memorial to the victims of the train accident.
