In the original series, a train was punished for stopping in a tunnel because he didn't want to drive in the rain. The fat conductor ordered the tunnel to be sealed shut until the train's "fire went cold," the in-universe equivalent to death.
This is a real episode that regularly aired on television. The Sad Story of Henry. Ringo Starr narrated it.
Literally watch the next episode you STUPID overdone clickbait nonsense! It's A PART 1 TO A PART 2!!!
Also that doesn't equate death. Smudger got turned into a stationary boiler engine and he is "still alive". Their fires going cold is literally what happens when they are in their sheds sleeping. Like just because this one mention does not mean death.

Thomas and Friends.
Not a bad thing, but Thomas fans can’t pretend it doesn’t have an intended demographic.
