The train that crashed through a station wall
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
If you want to know what happens when Westinghouse air brakes fail on a moving 700-ton locomotive, look no further than the 1895 Granville express. The train blew past the buffers at Gare Montparnasse, smashed through the concourse, and dramatically nosedived out a glass window, landing on the street below. It instantly became the world's most expensive and embarrassing impromptu art installation.
One discovery leads to another.
