Underlander ore train, Mount Isa Mines, March 1962

DESCRIPTION

DescriptionElectric ore train pulling a rake of side tipping "Granby" cars over an open ore pass to the crushers on the lower level. This is possibly 15 Level.
The train was affectionately known as "The Underlander".

The ore car body was hinged on one side, and a wheel on the other side, not seen in the photograph, would ride on a separate rail to lift the wagon body up. This would tilt the body and open the side for the ore to spill.DateMarch 1962Rights© Mount Isa MinesCollectionMount Isa Mines Last edited by: Andrea Eussen
