Caption: Ruffner Mountain Mine #2 Ore Crusher. Birmingham, Alabama.
Additional Description: Once the iron ore was brought up out of the mine, the ore was then loaded into a ore crusher similar to this one. The ore crusher was used to crush the larger ore rocks into a smaller manageable size for transportation. As the ore was been crushed the smaller ore would be dispensed into a waiting hopper train car below the crusher.
