This is the Montparnasse derailment, the most famous in history, which occurred on October 22, 1895. The GranvilleβParis Express, running behind schedule and moving too fast with the driver trying to make up for lost time, overran the buffer stop at its Gare Montparnasse terminus. As they approached the station and tried to apply the air brake, it did not work. By the time the engineer applied the hand break but it was too late. After running through the buffer stop, the train crossed the station concourse and crashed through the station wall. The locomotive fell onto the Place de Rennes below, where it stood on its nose.
It stayed that way for three days while officials began trying to move it. This gave people plenty of time to come by and take photos, which is why it is so famous.
#ninetiesfriday Barber Half Dollar
I believe I got this coin way back in the steem days from @stokjockey. I saw it in a handful of coins he was showing in a youtube video, I believe.
The details on this coin are pretty worn down, but I do like the antiqued black background, at lest is helps define what's left of the design.
...Greg is not fcuking impressed :|
aaaaand he's stepping on it π‘
Here's a fun website for all the #inflation nerds https://www.in2013dollars.com/
Oh, this is fun, I just found the full 1000+ page, 1898 Sears & Roebuck catalog online.
Just look at those prices!
That's some #oldendays shit, right there!!
Have an #olde Friday xD
Ahhh, the good old days! When things were inexpensive and the money valuable!
Would have sucked to have been the idiot engineer who drove it right off the track. Next time apply the brakes sooner was the moral of the story! lol
Sweet coin by the way! Comes all the way from New Orleans, awesome.
!PIMP
Next time apply the brakes sooner was the moral of the story!
And here I thought the moral of the story was too take a plane..
Then the wreck would have been even more spectacular! Plane crash trumps train crash! lol
Tell that to the people of East Palestine, Ohio...
Yeah, they got seriously screwed by that little train derailment...
Yeah, they got seriously screwed by that little train derailment...
... but 9/11 was still more spectacular..
They managed to fuck up our whole country and we are still paying for it with the Patriot Act that was supposed to expire and go away but keeps getting renewed. The government doesn't want to give up it's power!
Ha, yeah. The engineer and one of the brakeman each got a fine. The New Orleans "O" on the coin is why I wanted it.
