>>1536276According to accounts from the accident, Marie-Augustine Aguilard, was at ground level and crushed to death by falling masonry that was torn off the building by the locomotive. Pretty tragic story about her too. She was a young mother of two children and wasn't even supposed to be there. She was watching over the newsstand her husband owned by while he was out collecting the evening papers. Ultimately, Chemins de fer de l'Ouest reached a settlement to prove a pension for her husband and children for the rest of their lives.
In typical tackless South American fashion, a Brazilian theme park has a life-sized recreation of this tragedy on display.
