On 19 October 2008, there was an incident where the ground under one side of the station suddenly was pressed upwards by around 4 meters. This caused one track to turn over 90 degrees, while the other track suddenly was on a 3 meter tall, steep bump. It is believed this incident was caused by movement of the ground initiated by pressure from a nearby storage facility for rocks.
