    Dark Photos, a new photo documentary series from Dark5, presents this impressive black-and-white photo showing the front part or engine of a steam locomotive tipped over the side of a building, clearly having crashed through a wall. The photo was taken on October 22nd, 1895, at the Gare Montparnasse in Paris, and is commonly referred to as the ‘Montparnasse derailment’...

      The train in Hugo also shared the number 721 with its real-life counterpart. I think there's also a reference to the newsstand lady who passed away during the crash scene, but it might be far fetched. The train is seen crashing through a newsstand inside the station, but before it does that there's a woman walking by it on the other side. A man tackles her out of the path of the train and saves her.
      Edit: It was some random guy that was saved nevermind. Ignore everything I just said before other than the train number.

    This was not unlike the GG-1 electric locomotive #4876 that crashed through the floor of Union Station in Washington, DC in January 1953. However that accident was due to a mechanical failure and design flaw that caused the air brakes on most of the train to fail. The engineer was not at fault and did everything possible to try to stop the train and give warning that the train was out of control. Fortunately no one was killed in that accident. The GG-1 was cut into sections, sent to the PRR Altoona Works, and reassembled and served the railroad for many years afterwards and still exists today.

    I miss the days when TTTE actually had accidents based off of real events. This is one of those darker ones that I love. And considering that I'm a veteran Thomas fan, all of this makes scenes. Except this happened to Gordon (minus the coaches). Thomas doesn't have to be in everything. He didn't even had a line in the season five episode.

    And then there was trouble. As Gordon approached the new station, neither the driver or fireman could apply his brakes. The driver reduced steam but Gordon was still going too fast.
    (Gordon then proceeds to run straight through the station and crash through the wall)
