Still on the topic of saddle tanks , here’s a photo of Dorothy (Dolly)
the locomotive that disappeared down a long abandoned mine shaft in Platt Bridge along with its driver .
( pictured ).
This photograph may appear elsewhere on this site although I haven’t seen it .
Detailed information about the tragic incident can be found on the Places/Platt Bridge thread for those who aren’t already aware .

Ludovic's name is on a gravestone in Abram Churchyard along with his wife's name, but his body isn't there....it was buried with his engine, Dorothy, in the mineshaft.
