I remember reading about this when I was quite small, in a book of train disasters I found while visiting the house of a family friend. The description of the concertina’ing train cars bringing death and destruction was so vivid in my mind, I had nightmares for weeks. If I’d known the victims could just regenerate, I’d’ve been much less traumatized.
