Description
This is a Small Coal Car of which several were put on the back of the mine train that brought the Coal to the surface by Mule Or later steam donkey engine ( I am told that these smaller cars brought coal to the surface for the miners homes ). Roslyn & Ronald sit on top of Mines with an Estimated 283 Million tons of Coal still underground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent capture _/.
It might be interesting for out-of-towners to know that Roslyn and Ronald are towns, not the folks who live next door! LOL! Great shot of this bit of history!
Really an excellent shot. Fantastic details and wonderful light.
Great piece of art and well captured! We have these fellows at the old, historic gold mines in SA too!
Thanks for pointing that out Tara, I had sort of guessed it though. Lol. Interesting capture and narrative, I wonder if they will buy out the towns to go open cast, that's a huge chunk of fossil fuel. Or will they listen to the conservationalists and leave it in the ground. I wouldn't like to bet on it either way. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!
Very interesting!
Nice compo and coal car. I'm from a country where we used to have coal mines. Now they are closed !
Very good photo!
Wonderful old cart and capture. Splendid work. Diane.
Wonderful history here -- and an excellent capture!
I would think the wood wheels were to reduce the chance of sparking in the mine.I read that the locomotives used to pull the ore laden cars used compressed air for power for the same reason.it is a beautiful relic and bit of history
