Grouch, believe it or not, lots of the old stations had elevated platforms like this in them. I have a book that came from my grandfather's house that is all about old train wrecks. It is amazing stuff. There are probably 20 photos like this one in there. One of them has the engine still running at full steam, hanging out of the building!Originally posted by groucho View PostThat which you manifest is before you.Comment

The Gare Montparnasse became famous for a derailment on 22 October 1895 of the Granville–Paris Express that overran the buffer stop. The engine careened across almost 30 metres (100 ft) of the station concourse, crashed through a 60-centimetre (2 ft) thick wall, shot across a terrace and sailed out of the station, plummeting onto the Place de Rennes 10 metres (33 ft) below, where it stood on its nose. Two of the 131 passengers sustained injuries, along with the fireman and two conductors. The only fatality was a woman on the street below who was killed by falling masonry.[4] The accident was caused by a faulty Westinghouse brake and the engine drivers who were trying to make up for lost time.[5] A conductor incurred a 25 franc penalty and the engine driver a 50 franc penalty.
The story of the train crash and the picture features in the 2007 children's novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. For the film version, Hugo, the crash was detailed as a nightmare the main character was having. It was re-created using a detailed quarter-scale model by technicians at New Deal Studios. [6] The story of the 1895 accident was also referenced in the television series Thomas and Friends in "A Better View For Gordon". The event is also depicted in the comic book The Extraordinary Adventures of AdLast edited by nickleone; February 18, 2012, 11:54 AM.Comment
