Mine Entrance

I saw two entrances to the mines from the back of the main building; this one had a track for rail cars.

The mine car to Hell is now leaving. Please keep all hands and feet inside the train car at all times.

Thats just what the mine we went in looked like. The train car we went in on was electric and the car was just a bench long enough for about 8 people. and it had 5 cars on it. it only took about 30' heading in at an angle downward before there was zero light coming in from outside. It was kind of freaky.

nothing would happen since Darkness is Ozzy's friend.

One word of advice...if you see a bright light at the end of the line, run the other way! LOL

As hard and dangerous as mining is, you still get paid for the long ride in. Hopefully there will be a long ride out. Either way, you have time to think about it.
