    There are 2 doors in Spring Quarry/Box Mines that give access to Burlington and the Railway Platforms however, that isnt one of them. (they are very hard to find and along South/East section of the mines. easier ways to get to both however). I believe these doors lead to parts of the former ammunitions factory which was not converted into Burlington. Spent many a day in Box Mines and it always turns up suprises. Some of the best treasures lay nearby though. Did you go in via "Backdoor"?
