man-riding car

A car or carriage designed for the riding of miners to and from the workings. The car body has a low center of gravity to avoid the risk of overturning and is fitted with track brakes and an overspeed clutch. The train set is arranged to brake from the rear to avoid pileup, and the brakes are applied immediately on overspeed from a preset velocity.
