A singular and fatal accident has occurred on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire line. As a train was traversing this line it was signalled to them that another train was ahead, and that they should stop. The train was accordingly brought to a standstill on the Dinting Viaduct. It was quite dark; and some of the passengers supposing they had arrived at the Hadfield Station, two men and a woman, mistaking the parapet of the via duct for the platform of the station, stepped out, and immediately fell over onto the ground below, a depth of 75 feet. Two were instantly killed; the third died in an hour.
