    The excellent Anthony Dawson channel on Youtube includes the below video about the locomotive falling into the street at Montparnasse which is the subject of a well known photo. I wasn't aware until watching this about the recreation of the incident in a Martin Scorsese film Hugo in 2011 and videos showing this particular scene and how it was made which may be of interest are also below.
