Converted Supply Car
Supply cars were used to transport tools and other equipment into and out of the mine. A water tank has been added to this electric supply car, providing a water source to spray down the coal dust in the tunnels. It was powered by batteries that were enclosed in compartments to prevent electrical sparks. There was a charger right next to it in case they ran out of juice. Notice the seats? They are placed in such a manner that the driver could drive in both directions.
