Famous quotes containing the words platform and/or track:
“Across Parker Avenue from the fort is the Site of the Old Gallows, where 83 men “stood on nothin’, a-lookin’ up a rope.” The platform had a trap wide enought to “accommodate” 12 men, but half that number was the highest ever reached. On two occasions six miscreants were executed. There were several groups of five, some quartets and trios.”

“The most difficult crime to track is the one which is purposeless.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
