The Borki train disaster was an event in which the Russian Imperial train, which had been carrying Tsar Alexander III of Russia and his family derailed near Borki station.
On October 29, the Imperial train left Crimea for Petrograd. The Assassin Nikolai Orelov, who had been tasked with infiltrating the train, killing Alexander and claiming the Royal Staff, engaged the Tsar in battle. During the engagement, the train suddenly derailed and careered of the tracks. Orelov and Alexander III continued to fight one another, with Nikolai narrowly escaping with his life.
At one point during the disaster, Tsar Alexander III lift the roof of his carriage upon his shoulder, so as to let his family escape the wreckage.
