A tractor and trailer which became stuck on a West Yorkshire railway line has caused damage to the railway infrastructure, leading to major disruptions.
The tractor "broke the field boundary from a nearby farm" and rolled on to the line, London North Eastern Railway (LNER) said.
The incident demolished a gantry supporting the overhead line equipment, and contact with the overhead lines had caused the electric to trip.
Specialist technical rescue teams from Cleckheaton Fire Station and teams from Network Rail worked together throughout the night to recover the vehicle from the tracks and help restore normal service as soon as possible.

The tractor was eventually removed from the line at 05:37 on Thursday (16 August).
The damage has now been left with Network Rail to inspect and repair the track and electric lines.
