A Mine Train roller coaster is a steel roller coaster whose trains depict a set of mine carts, apparently pulled by the reproduction of a steam locomotive, often designed in a cartoon style. Most Mine Train roller coasters are themed in the style of a mine, a Western scene or simply a mountain range.
The first Mine Train roller coaster of its kind is Mine Train (Run-A-Way Mine Train until 1995) at Six Flags Over Texas. Built by Arrow Dynamics in 1966, thus Mine Train is the oldest roller coaster in the park; and together with Matterhorn Bobsleds (built in 1959 also by Arrow), is one of the first roller coasters with tubular steel tracks.
