Engine Number 47 216

In 1983, a woman told British Rail authorities about a disturbing vision she had of a fatal train crash involving an engine with the number 47 216.

Two years later, a train had a fatal accident, similar to one the woman described.

The engine number, however, was 47 299.

Later, someone noticed that the number had previously been changed by nervous British Rail officials.

The original number: 47 216.
