My favourite thing about Thomas the Tank Engine is that it canonically takes place in a train post-apocalypse where the Island of Sodor is the only safe zone in a totalitarian dystopia in which steam trains are routinely killed and their body parts are sold or cannibalized for repair.If you think I'm kidding you need to read the original books.
It took me so long to find this quote online but I did it because it's so much darker than one might expect from Thomas the Tank Engine:
The Bluebells of England said:"...Engines on the Other Railway aren't safe now. Their controllers are cruel. They don't like engines any more. They put them on cold damp sidings, and then," Percy nearly sobbed, "they...they c-c-cut them up."
