Minecart

Equipment

50 gp 200 lbs Iron

Minecarts are wheeled vehicles on fixed tracks, used in mining to transport ore, tools, and workers efficiently through tunnels. Powered by gravity, animals, or later steam engines, they reduce labor and enable rapid material movement, with safety features like brakes to prevent derailments in hazardous environments.

Rusty iron wheels grind against grooved rails, jolting the squat metal frame forward through dim tunnels laced with dripping stalactites. Ore sacks slump heavy in the open bed, their gritty weight shifting with each clatter over uneven tracks. Faded levers creak under callused hands, brakes hissing steam to halt the rush before a sheer drop.
