The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 map of 1859 (but not modern maps) shows a house named Quintinshill at approximately 55.0133°N 3.0591°W, around one-half mile (800 m) south-south-east of the signal box. The nearest settlement was Gretna, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the south of the box, on the Scottish side of the Anglo-Scottish border.
Set of 2007 $1 coins from the United States Mint. A coin set, or mint set, is a collection of uncirculated or proof coins, released by a mint.

Containing 2.4286 troy ounces (2.6645 oz; 75.54 g) of gold and measuring 44.9 millimetres (1.77 in) across for the octagonal) and 43 millimetres (1.7 in) in diameter for the round, [56] the $50 pieces were the largest and heaviest U.S. coins issued [57] until surpassed in 2010 by the America the Beautiful silver bullion coins.
It is a major event in Scottish history and railway history and is something people are going to search Wikipedia for. Equally there is no reason to include 1915 in the name of the article as there has been no other Quintinshill disaster that it is ever realistically going to be confused with.
