A mine car on the slagheap !


This mine car can be found close to the footpath on the slagheap of Prosper-Haniel colliery in the city of Bottrop in Germany, as well. These mine cars are used for transporting the miners from the shaft to their destinations and back. This is much less exhausting than walking by foot - and sometimes underground the destinations are several kilometres away from the shaft !
