Wonder how safe those were back in the day

Note that despite these being new, US citizens were not riding on the edges and roof. India gets trains and half of them don't understand how they work. So they are still safer than India's trains 130 years later

I knew we had trains back then but crazy seeing it so close to housing in 1894
