An abandoned mine on the Rio Tinto system in Southern Spain, discovered in May 1987


An abandoned mine on the Rio Tinto system in Southern Spain, dicovered in May 1987, with a Dubs 0-6-0T trapped by a rockfall on one of the ledges. The engine is Dubs No. 1515 of 1881. This locomotive lay buried for many years, and though it is now freed retrieval is clearly impossible.
