ore carts
Mineral transport vehicles
Ore carts are small wheeled vehicles used in mining to transport rock and extracted minerals through tunnels.
They typically run on narrow-gauge tracks and were historically pushed by hand or pulled by mules before mechanization.
The image of ore carts rolling through dim mine shafts appears frequently in Westerns and adventure games: The rusty ore cart sat abandoned at the tunnel entrance.
