    This is a rough translation from a news article in the dutch press.

    In WWII the Dutch resistance has derailed a German steam locomotive.
    It seems now that locomotive has been found in a small lake, called the Holterkolk, in Deventer NL. (Between the the road named Deltalaan and the railway.)
    Divers found a light from that locomotive and they think that the locomotive is deep in the mud on the bottom of that lake. They're going to investigate the lake again, and perhaps if they'll find the locomotive, they will save the locomotive..
    Plans are that the lake ‘Holterkolk’ is to be drained to build a new housing estate.
    Here is the location

    Thank you to Spoorforum for the info and rough translation.
