A local commuter train in the suburban Rotterdam in The Netherlands was narrowly stopped from going completely off the rails at the De Akkers metro station and dropping 10 meters (32.8 feet) to the ground below by a conveniently placed “Whale Tail” art installation sculpture. The sculpture was created by artists Hans Muller, Peter Globevnik, and Eric van Uden, was put in place in 2002.
This train in the Netherlands has been saved from falling off the end of a raised track by a sculpture of a whale. The Metro train, in a suburb of Rotterdam, ran through stop buffers in the early hours of Monday but was spared a 10m drop thanks to the 2002 “Whale Tail” art installation

They could have saved themselves the trouble and leave the train there and call it art, “the conflict between nature and machines”. Some so called works of art look like they have happened exactly in such a way. 😉

Ah so the artist caught you! I think the tail couldn’t permanently bear the weight of the train? It did look as though they belonged together…
