Hi everyone. I took these pics today in an old (circa late 1800s) iron ore mine. While I had the property owner's permission to be on the land, I'm not at liberty to name the mine due to privacy issues. Normally, I wouldn't post pics without telling the history behind them, but these are pretty cool shots. The mine was a pick and shovel affair with mules to pull product up the slope tracks. It was served via the L&N.
The view on the trip in. Water from the mine is still used, hence the PVC water lines.
Crosstie remnants.
Mined out area. The slope does a 180 degree turn nearby and the slope is flooded a short distance further down.
Flooded slope.
I took this shot of the view down the entry tunnel on the way back out.
