I have no idea what this is but it's the back side of the following photo - it's in Georgetown and it started with mining.
We entered the one shaft we saw that was safe. Carefully made it to the end. There were 2 rail cars inside, a bit of moisture, many test drill sites and a few tiny cave ins. It was an excellent adventure.

Why Were Locomotives and Ore Car Left in Mine Tunnel Since 1908?
Two electric locomotives and one ore car were put display on recently were put on Main Street. The locomotives, "motors" to the miners, and the ore car are 36-inch gauge, the same size track used by the narrow gauge railroad that traveled between Jerome Junction and Jerome beginning in 1984 The motors and cars were uncovered recently when the Big Hole Mining Co. opened a southwest drift in the course of its open-pit operation.
Many questions bounce about and come up unanswered. Why weren't the motors and cars were they left scrapped when the smelter was dismantled? Why in the underground workings? Were they cut off in a mine shaft cave-in? Were they forgotten for almost 50 years? [photographers note: this is extremely common, most cumbersome equipment was abandoned underground after mine closure. It was often assembled underground and getting it out was not worth the trouble or scrap value.]
The motors are not completely a puzzle, however. One motor was between 1905 and 1908. Using the factory motor for a sample, the second motor bought was built at the mine.

After competing in the mining arena during NASA's 6th Annual Robotic Mining Competition at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida, team members use vacuums to clear their robots of any dirt or regolith. More than 40 student teams from colleges and universities around the U.S. will use their remote-controlled mining robots to dig in a supersized sandbox filled with regolith simulant and participate in other competition requirements. The competition is a NASA Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate project designed to engage and retain students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields by expanding opportunities for student research and design.

Custom built fine quality Nscale, Z scale and, HO scale layouts by "Rasch Studios"
Future Projects:
HO western mining town layout coming soom...
Z scale John Allen inspired three level layout coming soon as well....
Upcoming Projects that will be for sale soon include:
A Pennsy four track mainline of the middle division. Circa 1958 to 1968 with beautiful river scenery and a full yard . Will come in both DC and DCC modes. DCC sound will be included in buildings such as mines and industries. This layout will be a statement and we are putting everything we have into it!
An HO western desert inspired layout with a mining facility and an old west style town. Will be wired for both DC and DCC.
A Z scale John Allen inspired layout with dramatic three foot drops and trestles spanning deep canyons. The mainline will be set at eye level and since I am 6 ft 1 the layout will be nearly six feet tall with three levels of mainline running. So one train will be at you eye level one train will be at waist level and one train will be nearly touching the floor. This layout will be dramatic to say the least. If you know what John Allen the pioneer used to do than you'll have an idea of what this this layout will be about. Trains will be included...

Run out of steam a long time ago. Must have been hell mining coal in those winter conditions up there.
National Mining Museum Scotland
The National Mining Museum Scotland was created in 1984, to preserve the physical surface remains of Lady Victoria Colliery at Newtongrange, Midlothian, Scotland. The colliery, sunk by the Lothian Coal Company in 1890, came into production in 1894. It was nationalised in 1947 with the formation of the National Coal Board, and had closed in 1981.
The buildings were recognised as being of outstanding interest as they formed an almost complete survival of a major Victorian colliery, with later additions. Some demolition, such as the 1950s canteen and medical centre, has occurred but the vast bulk of the structures stand. The winding engine is by Grant, Ritchie and Company and the colliery headstocks were built by Arrols of Glasgow. From 1998 onwards several of the main structures were stabilised and new visitor facilities opened. [Wikipedia]
To study the links between the increased metabolism of the economy and environmental damage, EJOLT looks at mining conflicts (precious metals & bulk materials) and waste disposal conflicts (ship breaking, e-waste exports and waste incineration). Local communities occupying ‘priceless sites’ oppose mining in ecologically sensitive areas (such as Intag, Ecuador) or technological and other corporate practices. We shall elaborate on risk assessment and undertake work to publicize violations of the Basel Treaty on the export of toxic waste (e.g. European ships dismantled in Alang and Sosiya, India). We will conduct a legal analysis of liability regimes in national, international and European laws. Sharing of such landmark cases on mining and ship-breaking conflicts worldwide will help us to elaborate online training materials about debates on health risks and resource destruction, and strategies of legal redress and public consultation in ways that take local activist knowledge into account.

A shot of one of the paths through the heathland restoration that is Beacon Hill reserve. The topsoil turns grey with weathering, but underneath it is orange, and this shot shows just how many mining bee mounds there are in a small area. I have never seen a site like. it. I found it astonishing that they thrive in such a frequently trampled area as a footpath that is well used by dog walkers.
I was back a few days later in heavy rain and there was no trace of any of this and the path looked more like a river. I hope the bees survived.

The former ore sampler in Murray, Utah. Located "down rail' from the former Murray ASARCO smelter site, with connections to the then Union Pacific and Rio Grande mainlines. Undergoing some sort of demolition effort at the time of the photo, it would stall shortly afterwards leaving the building still standing as a hollowed out skeleton.

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.

STEM is science, technology, engineering and math. The special event gave students competing in NASA's 8th Annual Robotic Mining Competition the chance to learn from female NASA scientists, engineers and professionals about their careers and the paths they took to working at Kennedy. The Robotic Mining Competition is a NASA Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate project designed to encourage students in STEM fields. The project provides a competitive environment to foster innovative ideas and solutions that could be used on NASA's Journey to Mars. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett

WIPP miners use a remote-controlled continuous mining machine to make space in the bedded salt for planned Salt Disposal Investigations.
Mining crews recently began tunneling areas in the north end of the 2,150-foot-deep Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) repository to support a new round of salt studies. Known as the Salt Disposal Investigations (SDI), the studies are designed to test the geologic response of salt to elevated temperatures.
