Diesel powered shuttle cars and loaders reduce hazards while adding flexibility to mining operations at underground iron ore and limestone mines; diesel powered shuttle cars have no trailing cables, which are responsible for many accidents; diesel fumes are not hazardous since they are easily detected and are self-policing; increased flexibility of shuttle car operations has permitted changes in mining layouts whereby less service work for operation is required.
