Train crashes

 

Many train accidents have happened over the years.

Tell your teacher to click on this link here, and to print out a really exciting story to read to you. It is about a girl in America who saved many lives because she was so brave.

 

Her name was Kate Shelley, and it was in 1881, 120 years ago, that she went out in a terrible storm to stop a train that would have crashed and lost many many lives.

When she grew up, she got a job looking after a small railway station. This is a photo of her at that station.
