Maithwaite Quarry Mine

Maithwaite Quarry Mine, also known as the Abandoned Mine and the Haunted Mine, is a mine located on an old track off Toby's Branch Line near Maithwaite Forest.

Thomas & Friends
The mine was abandoned long ago and Percy had to travel to the mine for two nights; the first night he had to travel to Maithwaite to collect some flowers but he had to stop at a red signal near the mine. While he was waiting for the signal to change, the mine's chimney sunk into the ground. This scared Percy so much that he raced away from the mine at full throttle when the signal changed to green. The second night, Percy had to collect a train of freight cars from the mine, but a few seconds after he arrived, the mine's building sank into the ground. Percy got so scared, that his fear got the better of him and he accidentally rammed the freight cars, causing gnomes to fall out in the process. Percy then raced back to Lower Tidmouth Station where Sir Topham Hatt explained that the old buildings were collapsing in the empty mine shafts and that the gnomes were garden gnomes. Percy then traveled back to the mine to collect the gnomes.

Thomas once travelled along the line that runs near the mine, with the farmer's prize bull, however, a landslide had covered the line with dirt, causing Thomas to become stuck. Percy later arrived to rescue Thomas and help him deliver the bull.

Fergus once hid near the mine after he ran away from the Smelters, where he was soon found by Thomas.
