The people say that, when they see the wrecked train, it reminds them of their loved ones.
"Queen of the Sea" was bound from Colombo to Matara on 26th of December 2004. It was roared by the Tsunami in Peraliya. Approximately 1,500 people were killed. The villagers of Peraliya boarded the train to seek refuge, and most of them were killed as well. The wrecked train was kept as a landmark in Peraliya until recently. The residents of Peraliya protested to remove the wrecked compartments from the vicinity.
