Near the end of "Silver Streak" 1976 movie, a runaway passenger train (the bad guy put a toolbox on the deadman pedal) crashed into a large passenger station. Near the end of "Earth vs. The Flying Saucers" 1956 movie, one of the saucers being "shot down" by the good guys crashed into a large passenger station. On the IMDB website https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049169/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv , the saucer crashing into the station may have been inspired by a 1953 accident when a runaway passenger train smashed into the station concourse. I looked up the accident and found out that the train lost its brakes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_...tion in Washington, D.C. on January 15, 1953.
