if yee have permission and have the terriers located the farmer might help out with a digger pal.

[digdeeper 278]

Gone to earth you cant receive pm mate. Gt permission on land right next to railway embankment but 8 foot spiked fence between it very risky lads

[frog31 48]

How many holes

Is the line down the bank or up on top

Digdeeper,who's coming out to you?? is it the fell and moorland lads ??

I had permission on over 200 miles of track up untill around 2000,railways are the worst nightmare and you sound totally out your depth,if its electric,which it sounds as if it is you have 2 choices,1= you just take a chance and get on with it or 2= you inform the authorities and plead ignorance and say you've just lost your dogs, but if you've already trespassed and dug holes all over the embankment then the laws are well and truly broken anyway,is it an earth or one of the main drains that run from side to side ??some drains then split under the track and go lengthways parallell with the track,there are also trenches that carry the signalling gear or cables by the track,if its a main drain the lintel stones are 10 ft long and 2 ft square and are impossible to move by hand,the last rescue I did was on an old railway line that had been converted to a footpath,we had to get the ranger service out and they paid for a jcb to dig up and move the capstone lintels for us,the safety of the dog is paramount in this situation and waiting around for someone else to sort it out won't happen,you need to get organised as its been a long time already in subzero temperatures,search both sides of the track and make sure that the point of entry is where you say it was,a lot of ordinary earths on the sides of railways tend to twist upwards and come back on thereselves to one side,did you have a collar?? have you had a mark ?? we need more info to help,WM
