Looks a lot like a train engine, but I can see bus dualie tires in the back, and people on the top

I have no idea how long I've been looking at this photo, and not posting it. I can't recall where it came from

here is the original
The engine careened across almost 98 ft of the station concourse, crashed through a 2 foot thick wall, shot across a terrace and sailed out of the station, plummeting onto the Place de Rennes 33 ft below, where it stood on its nose. All on board the train survived, five sustaining injuries: two passengers (out of 131), the fireman and two conductors; however, one woman on the street below was killed by falling masonry. The accident was caused by a faulty Westinghouse brake and the engine drivers who were trying to make up for lost time. A conductor incurred a 25 franc penalty and the engine driver a 50 franc penalty.

I've posted that old photo before, because it's just amazing to me. Trains falling out of buildings... not very often that happens http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/one-of-most-impressive-photos-ive-seen.html

 Hard to imagine how hard these two hit... they look like they have no dividing line

the Cincinatti and Lake Eire

  
 This isn't a passenger car. St Louis municipal codes were a problem, so they made this engine look like a passenger car. Expensive, sneaky, but effective
Two engine drivers had a contest to see who could get out of the railyard... they were pretty stubborn at carrying on despite the obvious equality of power, size, and brakes.   Gloversville New York
 New Haven railway 1896, this car seats 80
Provo Utah, 1917
