We learned that a diesel train is basically a giant lighter on wheels. We learned that Victorian-era architecture (or its replica) is highly flammable. And we learned that when a disaster strikes, the British national pastime is to complain about it over a cuppa while posting blurry photos online.
The Glasgow Queen Street Arch Fire became a legend. It’s a cautionary tale that proves even the most mundane things—like a train going for a fuel-up—can turn into a £10 million inferno. So next time you see a train, give it a nod of respect. But maybe stand a little bit further back. You never know when it might decide to become a dragon.
