March 11 is the Feast Day of Saint Montague, patron of railways. As this saint was actually struck by a locomotive, this patronage is in questionable taste. It would perhaps be inaccurate to say that Montague was martyred, as the train presumably had no hostile intent. Montague was a minor abbot of a minor monastery, and it has been suggested that his canonization was a matter of political expediency rather than actual divinity.
Saint Montague should not be confused with Saint Galthus, patron of steam engines, whose feast day is on June 11th.
