Here's a breakdown:
* Ore cars: These are the most common type, used to transport ore from the mine face to the surface or processing plant. They are usually designed for heavy loads and can be either rail-mounted or truck-mounted.
* Skip cars: These are large, specialized cars used to hoist ore or waste rock vertically from deep underground mines. They are typically used in conjunction with a hoist system.
* Tram cars: These are smaller, lighter-duty cars used to transport materials within a mine, such as supplies, equipment, or workers. They are often used on narrow-gauge rail lines.
The specific term used for a mine car can vary depending on the type of mine, the mining method, and the geographic location.
