ore cart
Mine tunnel vehicle
An ore cart is a small wheeled vehicle used in mining to transport rock and mineral deposits through tunnels and shafts.
Typically running on narrow-gauge rails, ore carts—also called mine carts—are designed to be pushed by hand or pulled in trains.
The image of a rickety ore cart hurtling through a dark mine shaft has become a staple of adventure films and video games.
