Ore Cars

Once very plentiful but very hard to find now, we discovered these while out snowshoeing today. These ore cars were used to extract ore out of the adits in the local mines.
Thanks for stopping by, your comments and favs on yesterday’s photo “Abandoned Structure” are greatly appreciated.

We live in an old coal mining town, and see a few old coal cars, but not many.
