New Sink Opens North of Alachua Lake Halting Atlantic Coast Line Trains
A subterranean river caused a new sink near Gategrille Flat Sun in Florida, just south of the city. The sink grew from 10 to 15 feet to about 40 feet in diameter, swallowing earth and water as trains on the Atlantic Coast Line were halted after the Leesburg Jacksonville train reached the scene Thursday morning. Conductor Frederick and Section Foreman Thigpen reported the rapid collapse, with earth and water spurting and a large pool forming that resembled boiling seas. The sink spans roughly 125 feet north to south and about 100 feet east to west, already surpassing nearby old sinks in size. A towering 30-foot tree vanished into the hole, underscoring the depth and danger of the site.
