Mine 2
JS 6225 passed Mine 2 with a train of empties on 25 September 2002. The mine loading points made excellent backdrops for photography, providing an appropriate context for pictures of coal trains. Most mines used a rope haulage system for moving wagons through the loading point. The rope pulled a trolley along the inner set of rails of the right hand track. The trolley pushed against the knuckle coupler of the the rearmost wagon, moving the whole rake under the loader as required.
