finally, a photo of the Oct 1895 Granville-Paris Express wreck at Montparnasse from the other side of the train

above is the view we are used to seeing

here are a couple of photos I haven't seen before, thanks Steve!

and here they are rigging a way to lower it without destroying it

There's the Great Minturn, Colorado Copycat Crash of 1913. At least it was just the Denver and Rio Grande Railway Co. roundhouse: (thanks Steve!)
