A mine car on the slagheap !


In earlier times a colliery's entire coal production was brought from the longwall mining areas to the corresponding shafts in these mine cars. Because of the large amount of coal that is extracted in modern collieries, today the transportation can be done more efficient by using conveyors. Nevertheless these mine cars are still in use, but now only for moving different materials from one place to another.
