Spent some time at the Airdrie Festival of Lights tonight. The first of these were taken on the little train they have, then I continued on while walking around the park. These turned out pretty cool I thought!

Old wooden mine wagons were used to transport ore and materials in mines from the early modern period until the late 19th or early 20th century. They were usually made of wood, with iron or steel frames, wheels, and axles. They ran on wooden planks or rails, guided by pins or grooves. They were pushed or pulled by men, animals, or rope-haulage systems.
Some of the advantages of wooden mine wagons were that they were cheap, easy to repair, and could be adapted to different sizes and shapes of loads. Some of the disadvantages were that they were heavy, prone to rotting and breaking, and had limited capacity and speed. They also required a lot of manual labor and animal power to operate.
Wooden mine wagons were gradually replaced by metal mine cars, which had higher capacity, durability, and efficiency. They also allowed for the use of steam and electric locomotives, which reduced the need for human and animal labor. Metal mine cars became more common in underground mines, especially coal mines, where they could handle the large volumes of coal produced by machines such as longwall shearers and continuous miners.
Wooden mine wagons are now considered historical relics.
