My career in coal mining started as a shuttle car operator. This rare above ground shows how a shuttle car operates underground to haul coal away from the continuous miner. The shuttle cars Kadizzle operated were a little bigger, but this video gives you a very good idea of how they work. They are electrical and you cannot see the cord that is fed out and pulled in when the shuttle car moves. Brings back ancient memories of the time Kadizzle was 19, and 20 working underground. Keep in mind all this was done in the dark in an entry twenty feet wide.
