Santa Fe Railroad's Super Chief was preparing to leave the Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal on January 25, 1947 (or 48?) when the locomotive lost its brakes. It ploughed through a barrier and ended up hanging over the street. No one was hurt and 5 hours later it was craned back onto the rails.
Almost as impressive as the famous 1895 Paris train wreck picture.

Kinda like the Federal Express crash at Washington DC’s Union Station in 1953
