We went in 700 feet and our tour guide stopped the train to see if anyone needed to leave. Then we continued on in to 1500 feet. He is shining a light on an iron ore deposit.

Look! A bicycle in the mine. The supervisor used it to ride to the different areas to supervise his men! He had to cover alot of territory. The workers were always grabbing his bike and hiding it!
