context_section_description: On Thursday 22 September 1892 near Lindal station, a large hole had appeared beneath the railway, taking many lines out of use and swallowing up a locomotive. Rescue attempts were abandoned and the locomotive still lies underground at an unknown depth. The cause of the hole has been debated but remains unclear to this day.
  The former site is situated on a wide embankment carrying only the two main lines that remain.
