If you are talking about the last couple of years, then no.
If you are talking about a few years ago, then yes.
The old slam door trains used to have cast iron brake blocks. So every time the brakes were applied, i.e. running into a station, the blocks would rub against the wheels, slowing the train and giving off lots of small iron fillings.
They were a right sod to get off car paint work, and I was unlucky enough to have a white car parked next to a railway line
