The Hole

On September the 22,1892, a locomotive, a Furness railway 0-6-0 number 115 Disappeared down a Hole which suddenly opened up under the track which it was standing / running.I beleive it was never recovered but the the driver and Fireman jumped to safety just in time.
It was at a place called Lindal on the Furness Railway.
I wonder if although it is many many years ago, there is a report on the incident somewhere, I can find nothing doing a search, perhaps someone can ???
