The feats of the Irish rebels (Colour Litho)

The feats of the Irish rebels. Having stopped a freight train in the vicinity of Dublin, they disconnected the wagons, then pushed the locomotive forward, without a driver or stoker, at full steam. At a bend the locomotive jumped off the rails going to plant itself through a parallel track. As a passenger train arrived from Dublin, the rebels required railway workers not to report the obstacle. The passenger train then collided in the dark against the diverted locomotive. Three of his cars were smashed, and eight travelers were seriously injured.
