The most terrible episode of the Western Railway Station - 1962. october 4.

"It was a big hurry just as many times before - remembered station chief Markó, a man with exceptional adaptability as he was the head of the Station from 1950 until 1969 - A Truman 411 locomotive entered the hall on the No. IV. track with 10 four wheeled passenger cars. 
Due to the lack of space and time in the Western Station - everything was urgent. 
So was it again. In the big hurry they have forgot to attach the air brakes. Shunting with nearly 40 kilometres per hour speed when the emergency pipe of the locomotive was heard. 
The first tower's staff heard it and assumed - all the passengers and railway workes must be alarmed. One worker dispatched the people from the end of the track and an other one - wisely - from the front side pavement. The unstoppable power of the 500 tons car fell on the track closing bracket, and braking through the front wall it stopped on the boulevard. Only one woman got hurt. "
