In the Montparnasse derailment (22 October 1895), a train approached the station too fast and overran the buffer stop at the Gare Montparnasse terminus. It crashed through the wall and partly fell onto the Place de Rennes.

While all passengers survived, a woman in the street was killed in the incident.
