With stunning architecture and the first trains to be powered by electricity, the station welcomed the world. At the heart of the station was a brilliant clock that hung high above the crowds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The clock was essential in keeping the station humming. It was as beautiful as it was important. Until it was not. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Paris expanded and soon outgrew the station. The crowds moved elsewhere, and the clock was abandoned.
