mine works

This is what happens to a rail line after 100 years of neglect. Picture yourself pushing a little, but heavily loaded mine car along the tracks. The building still contains the hammer mills for processing silver ore.

This area near Leadville Colorado was intensely mined. Baby Doe's Matchless mine is nearby.
