I knew nothing about it, or the photographer, or the event, until I started this blog and train fanatics and rail nerds began to contact me, sending me emails filled with links about rail facts, history, stories, etc., and usually I'm like, pssssh, so not my thing. Until today.
RF sent me a link to this famous train crash, known as the Montparnasse derailment, when I jokingly responded to an email from him that my life is a living train wreck. He sent this image which is a famous event - for rail folks, seeing as I didn't know it was famous. Coincidentally, I had a very large poster of this photograph that hung in my first apartment until I gave it away. Who knew?
I wish I still had it. It's a marvelous train wreck and RF nailed it. It's how I feel at the moment about life and the fact that my husband and I are on a train we have no control over -- we own two houses at the moment after a real estate transaction failed to close -- hope is dying as Friday is when house #1 is returned to us to keep "owning". It's a frozen asset at the moment.
I am at a loss. I can only hope for a miracle.
That'll buff out.

ReplyDeleteI really hoped things would work out for this buyer. It is only Wednesday but this has dragged on for too long.
ReplyDeleteKeep your chin up! I hope it all works out soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI think a miracle may have happened.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, best of luck CJ, secondly, I had no connection with that train wreck. But, my friends will gladly point the finger at me for the hell of it.
