TitleMid 90's train safety trauma... anyone else remember this?

Bit of a weird request, but I was wondering if there was anyone else around the Glasgow area in their late 30s/early 40s who remembers the following when they were in S1:

The police came in to give us a "safety talk" about railways and it scared the shite out of me. I recall being shown photos of actual children's corpses; some had been dismembered by trains and some burnt from electric shock from the overhead lines.
I refused to go near a train for about a year and when I did I was shaking with fear! It just seems SO over the top... did they actually show this stuff to kids or have I made it up in my mind?!
The "don't become a junkie" talk was pretty graphic too... more corpses from OD-ing and photos of infected veins. But the railway one is really bugging me... anyone else remember this happening at their school?! This was in East Renfrewshire.
