Vintage Machinery and Vehicles
Aerial bucket trams used to transport ore from the mines to the mills. One of the best surviving examples is the tram at Pioche, NV which is documented here. This tram has steel towers. Others, like the tram at the Belmont mine and mill in the Hamilton area, had wooden towers.
