My son just sent me this. They had runaway cars, but the crew got off the locomotive before it hit them. It happened in Texas.

100 years ago, my little town had a Feldspar mine with a tram railroad. The berms & evidence of railbed & road crossings are still there. I aways wondered what the engine & rail cars looked like.
Do you know the name of it?

There's some info on Pennsylvania feldspar mines with mentions of RRs around page 63 in this pub...

Boy, it was abandoned so long ago that photos are gonna be hard to come by, it appears...

I’ve been to that quarry a few times. It’s very difficult to access and it’s on very private property. Divers have reported depth of over 50’. I plan on hiking back there again this winter.

There’s actually a few more pictures of it in the Media Archives Delaware County PA
