mine car
Underground rail hauler
A mine car is a small rail-mounted cart used to transport ore, coal, or other materials through underground tunnels.
These rugged, open-topped cars move along narrow-gauge tracks, typically pushed by workers or pulled in trains by small locomotives.
The miners loaded the mine car with freshly blasted rock.
Also called a mine cart or ore car.
