🔸 This famous photo of a crashed train engine leaning against a building is often seen on posters warning people to plan carefully. The photo was taken on 22 October 1895 at the Gare Montparnasse in Paris. It is commonly referred to as the Montparnasse derailment. At 4:00pm that day the Granville–Paris Express ran through the bumper at the end of the track. The train was running late, so the driver was going faster than usual. Unfortunately, the Westinghouse air brake failed. After breaking through the bumper, the train skidded across the concourse and broke through the two-foot thick station wall. The engine fell 30 feet to the street, ending up as you see in the photo. None of the 131 passengers died, but six people were injured and one woman in the street died when she was hit by falling debris. The woman was working at a newsstand at the time. The railway company supported the woman's two children. #victorianchaps #goodolddays #badoldtimes #oldphoto #retro #vintage #paris #streetscene #1890s #victorian #traincrash #railway #disaster #nostalgia #history #edwardian https://www.instagram.com/p/CBaBL7EnzAC/?igshid=8pmka7u12uxw

I curse myself for including a train derailment and complex ironwork in this book. It's perspective hell. #traincrash #railwayarches #childrensbooks #illustration #watercolor #posca #hardtodraw

Spain's interior ministry says at least 39 people have been killed and dozens more injured after the collision of two high-speed trains. The accident happened overnight in the southern region of Andalusia. The trains were carrying around 500 people, and many were trapped inside the wreckage. The cause of the accident is under investigation. DW's Nicole Ris reports from Spain.
