In 1895 a train burst through a Paris station and stood on its nose
In 1895, a steam locomotive crashed through the wall of Gare Montparnasse in Paris, coming to rest on its nose 30 feet below after the air brake failed. The driver was speeding to make up lost time. All passengers survived; a newspaper vendor was killed by falling masonry. The engine was barely damaged.
