mine cars
Underground rail wagons
Mine cars are small railway vehicles used to transport ore, coal, or debris through underground tunnels.
They typically run on narrow-gauge tracks and may be pushed by workers, pulled by locomotives, or moved by cable systems.
The classic image is a rectangular metal cart with flanged wheels: Miners loaded the ore into mine cars for transport to the surface.
