Very interesting -- nice shot!
Wow first again! I wonder what those rollers were for?
Perhaps just to roll objects from one place to another, Jackieb.
Conveyor Belt.. I worked in several coal mines over an 11 year period. I never worked in a shaft mine though, only drift mines that enter the coal seam from the side of a mountain on a horizontal plane. My coal minning career came to an abrupt end in March, 1982 when my back was broken in a mine roof fall. I have been in a wheelchair since. I loved working in coal mines. It is addictive.
I would love to see a map of the interior of those old mines.
It's amazing how creepy and otherworldly objects can look close up.
