Mantrip

Hey there kiddo! Do you know what a mantrip is? It's kind of like a train, but instead of carrying people or cargo from one place to another, it carries people or workers inside a mine, which is like a big hole in the ground where people have to dig and search for useful things like coal, gold, silver or other minerals.

A mantrip looks like a long metal wagon or car, and it has wheels that run on tracks like a train. The mantrip is connected to a cable, and it travels inside the mine along the tracks to different work sites, where the workers get off to start their jobs.

The mantrip is guided by drivers who make sure it goes where it needs to go and stops at the right places. The drivers make sure everyone is safe and comfortable during the ride.

When it's time to leave the mine, the workers get back on the mantrip, and it travels back along the tracks to the surface, where it stops at a platform, and everyone gets off.

So, that's what a mantrip is, a metal wagon that carries workers into and out of a mine, like a train, but for people who dig for money!
