Deep in an abandoned mine, a mine shaft sits still as the groundwater trickles down. It really feels like a gate to hell when you are down there. This shaft was double-tracked to support carts moving in either direction.
A working Toledo Scale sits still in an abandoned hospital power plant.
This transfer station moved carts back and forth between tracks when going up and down the shaft. It was powered by a hoist atop an incline plane (right, not pictured).
