Summary

edit
Description
English: An open truck pictured in European mine in 1550's was used to haul heavier loads from the longest tunnels. Trucks (or dogs) had two iron axles (C), wooden rollers (D) and a hefty iron pin (F) running in a groove to keep the truck from leaving the beaten track. This type of truck is considered to be an earliest recorded narrow gauge railroad.
Suomi: Avonainen työntökärry, kuvattuna Eurooppalaisessa kaivoksessa 1550-luvulla, jota käytettiin raskaimpien lastien kuljetuksiin pisimmistä tunneleista. Kärryissä oli kaksi rauta akselia (C), puupyörät (D), sekä vahva rautatappi (F), joka kulki urassa estäen kärryjä poistumasta painautuneelta radalta. Tämän tyyppistä kärryä pidetään aikaisimpana muistiin kirjattuna kapearaiteisena rautatienä.
