EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tragic accident that occurred on a level crossing in Connerre, France. The image showcases the moment when the Le Mans express train collided with an unfortunate car, resulting in catastrophe. The collision between the steam locomotive and the automobile is depicted vividly, highlighting the terror and chaos of this fateful event. The photograph, created by French School in the 20th century, was originally published as an illustration for Le Petit Parisien (Supplement Litteraire Illustre) on December 18th, 1910. It serves as a powerful reminder of the dangers associated with foolhardy actions at railway crossings. In this scene illuminated by nightfall, we witness not only a crash but also death and destruction caused by reckless behavior. The driver of the car appears to have underestimated or ignored warning signs at the level crossing, leading to this devastating collision. Transportation accidents like these serve as reminders of how crucial it is to prioritize safety measures when using roads and railways. This particular incident stands as a somber testament to human error and its consequences. As we reflect upon this haunting image from Connerre, France, let us remember those affected by such tragedies and strive for greater awareness and caution on our roads and railways worldwide.
