at Wharram. The Burdale Tunnel portals were bricked up after closure and the interior experienced collapses in the 1970s and 1980s. Accidents On 15 September 1948 a passenger train consisting of a tank engine and two coaches travelling collided at an accommodation crossing with a Ford lorry carrying Poles and Hungarians going to work on a farm. As a result of the lorry running into the path of the train, three of the lorry passengers were killed and six others seriously injured, including the British driver. The train had minimal damage. The inquest recorded that the accident was caused by lack of caution by the lorry driver, noted that the view at the crossing point was very poor, and that the driver may not have heard the train's whistle over the noise of the lorry engine.
