Cairntable Halt railway station

In 2012 the site has no remnants of the halt or trackbed and the Cairntable miners rows of forty-eight apartment houses built in 1914 no longer exist, the last inhabitant having left in 1963.^[7] There is a remembrance stone laid on the site of the former village.^{[citation needed]}

The trains would deliver bread for the village shop when the snows were too bad for the delivery van.^[8]

In 1947 a steam engine got stuck in one of the railway cuttings near the village and the men from the village and Littlemill Pit helped dig the train out of the snowdrift.^[9]
