Elephants are reputed to have a great memory.
They are also reputed to never forgive.
There have been tales where elephants have sought revenge against humans for acts of cruelty.
Another story of an elephant exacting revenge upon humans comes from Malaysia.
The incident took place more than a hundred years ago.
A year later, in 1886, the line was expanded to connect Lumpur and Klang.
In 1893, the line between Teluk Anson (now called Teluk Intan) to Tapah Road was opened.
The incident happened at dusk and the scene was dark because it was located in a forest area.
The driver sounded the horn, but the elephant wouldnt move.
Instead, it charged straight into the iron horse, derailing the train and killing two passengers.
The elephant itself didnt survive the attack.
The line was discontinued during World War 2 and was removed.
The rest of the carcass was buried at the memorial site.
