Coal Chute Flatcar Deep in Muck

This flatcar sits abandoned in deep muck carrying coal chutes. The mine extends on in the distance seemingly forever, and there is some miscellaneous mechanical components just beyond the flatcar. This mine was excruciatingly long difficult to traverse; the muck was as much as 24-30 inches at its worst. This photo was taken towards the end of the trip, at which point we had already trudged 4 miles through deep mud and water.
