In 1909, Jack Harkness and a group of soldiers under his command were travelling through Lahore by train when the soldiers were killed by Fairies. (TW: Small Worlds)

In a heavily polluted city on an unnamed world, the Doctor assisted the Guardian Angels in finding the correct train track which would lead them out of the city and to the countryside. However, when he arrived there in the TARDIS and waited for them, they never arrived, and he concluded that they didn't make it, which was just as well since the countryside was just as polluted as the city itself. (DWM: End of the Line)
